ok tanx for the info i went n looked and the stuff i saw was 68u5 ebp 6015-H can ya tell me what these numbers mean? and what engine family can i replace it with to bolt up to the tranny , or if the engine is worth revuilding or not, one of the pistons seems to have melted away in the cylinder but the walls arent damaged just maybe needs a new crosshatching done

The motor is most likely a 223, however, there is a chance that it is a 262. Check my site: http://www.geocities.com/edwins63/I6ID.html
Hope this helps.

well i looked at ur site , the valve cover has 2 nuts holding it downand i blieve there were15 or 17 head bolts they were 5/8 heads on em, i measured the stroke with a tape measure and it was 3 & 5/8s inches i didnt follow the metric conversion as was an imperial tape lol, the distributor was located at the front and the oil filter just behind it and the fuel pump right behind that, was only 4 bigger sized bolts holding it to the bell housing and numerous lil 1/2 inch bolts holding the shield in place, the numbers on ur site dont match up with whats on the block tho unfortueately

The 223 is about 3 5/8" bore by 3 9/16" stroke. Sounds like what you got. The 262 is over 4" stroke.

If you come accross a need for it, I have a good head (probably needs a valve job) for that motor sitting in my garage. You can have it for the cost of shipping (or anyone else that might want it).

Its for an older 223, with the 2 bolts to hold the valve cover on instead of the 8 newer 223's use.
