− | The deck height of the Chevy 230 and 250 inline 6 engines is shorter than the 292 inline 6 engine. That means the pushrod cover is shorter on those engines than on the 292 Chevy 6, as seen below. The RH engine mount is located a few inches forward of the smaller displacement engines. | + | The deck height of the Chevy 230 and 250 inline 6 engines is shorter than the 292 inline 6 engine.

Some 292s (and a few 250s used in truck/van applications) used a 90 degree oil filter adapter where the filter is pointing downward (same as the Chevrolet V8) - these blocks have a 3 bolt boss (some blocks have this area unmachined where the holes can be drilled out). |
