David,
A lot of the 230 engines were used in Yale forklifts. Parts are available at the Yale dealers but they are VERY expensive.
Also look for REX concrete mixers from the 50s and 60s. They used the 230 engine to turn the drums.
Massey Super 92 combines used the 251 engine.
I got a 251 out of a military surplus Hobart Welder. It was in excellent shape. The only problem is the water distribution tube is rusted in. It comes out in pieces. The new one will be coated in Rustoleum before it goes in. A lot of replacement parts are available at NAPA at reasonable prices.
Good Luck.
