that looks to me like either a 230 or a 250cid gm engine, and i'm not sure how it would interchange with a cmp trans. i tried to find this out when i began in the hobby, with no answers, so i could only assume that no one had ever tried it. hopefully by now, someone will have an answer.
cheers!!

It's most likely a 250c.i., 125 net HP@3800rpm, 220ft/lbs. net Torque at 1600 rpm. You can find out for sure with the numbers cast into the block, they're on the passenger side, above the dipstick. Probably 377184 or close to it, I'm working from memory here. I have one in my C15, but whoever installed it took out the original tranny and replaced it along with the engine. My understanding is that the 235, 261, and possibly the 292 will bolt right up to the original transmission. The 230 and 250 won't. Hope this info helps.
