It is a 6 I would guess?

The easiest way to identify a 200 cid is the freeze plugs on the right (passenger) side of the block - 200=5 plugs, 144/170=3 plugs.

Depending what you have most parts are interchangeable on the small 6's.

The best 6 is the 200 cid because it has 7 main bearings the others only 5 but all of the I6 engines are actually pretty good motors.

I will look around for the numbers, unless someone else knows and see what I can find for you.

See Ya,

honestly i dont know where that is the freeze plug let me find out do u think those aluminum intake manifolds wor great

[lavron]

The freeze plugs are round plugs around an 1 1/2" where the water jacket core was held in place when the motor was cast, they run down the passenger side of the block under your exhaust manifold.

5 means a 200 cid.

yes I like my Offy intake but it takes some tweaking to get it set-up right. I would really like an aluminum head from Classic Inlines but haven't had the money to sink into it.

See Ya,
