The Chevy inline 6 has been around in one version or another since 1929 until 1988 in domestic vehicles. The Chevy straight 6 250 cid engine was brought out in 1966. It has a 0.280" longer stroke (3.53") and the same bore (3.875") as the 230 cid straight 6. It boasts a 7 main bearing bottom end- quite an improvement over the previous generation inline's 4 main bearings. | The Chevy inline 6 has been around in one version or another since 1929 until 1988 in domestic vehicles.

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 deck height of the Chevy 230 and 250 inline 6 engines is shorter than the 292 inline 6 engine.
