  Old Marine Engine: Iron duke engine
Iron Duke was an advetising name given to an engine used in sub-compact GM cars to differentiate them from the earlier Chevy Vega aluminium engines which were a disaster.
GM was quick to point out that later 4 cylinder engines had cast iron blocks and emphisized the point by coining the nickname "Iron Duke" in their advertising.
The iron duke was the late version of the original 4 cylinder Chevy II engine.

  Novak Conversions - Chevy & Buick Engine Swaps for the 1972-1975 Jeep CJ5
The things most relevant to an engine swap were the longer engine compartment for the six-cylinder, and the indroduction of the Spicer Model 20 transfer case (a first for short-wheelbase Jeeps) with the "centered" model 44 rear end.
The engine should be moved back towards the center of the frame about 1-1/4” for an engine swap (resulting in 1" to 1-1/4" offset), especially critical when converting to a GM automatic transmission.
With the engine attached to the rear mount via the transmission, and side to side location established at the front, the engine support arm bolt hole location can be determined.

  GM Iron Duke engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Iron Duke (also called the 2500, 151, Pontiac 2.5, Cross Flow, and Tech IV) was a 2.5 L (151 in³) I4 piston engine.
The Iron Duke is often confused with Chevrolet's Stovebolt -derived 153 from the 1960s Chevy II, but the engines are entirely different - the Iron Duke's intake manifold is on the passenger side, as opposed to the driver side.
Tech IV Iron Dukes were fitted with fuel injection (via a single injector in the throttle body) in 1982.

 About KRP
The original block design is based on the GM "Iron Duke" that later evolved into the Pontiac "Super Duty" racing block.
One of the most impressive features of the new block design is that the cylinders are cast siamese similar to a GM Bowtie block with extra material for overbore and thicker deck for increased strength.
Each version of this block is available with a Ford Motorsports SVO part number of GM Performance part number to satisfy the requirements of race sanctioning bodies that require a "production-based" engine.

 The Repair Library - 09.03 Pontiac Fiero   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Pontiac engineers were admirably daring in their use of new procedures and materials, so much so that development costs exceeded $700 million even though existing GM major components were employed.
As we said, the engine that motivated the original Fiero was Pontiac's Iron Duke, albeit an improved version with a swirl-port head that allowed the compression ratio to be raised from 8.2:1 to 9:1.
Five mains support the nodular iron crank, the cam is driven by gears, and pushrods operate the valves through stud-mounted rockers.
