198ci con rods, everybody wants them
Found me a car which is supposed to have a 198 in it, how can I make sure it is? I remember there was a number stamped in somewhere, but i can´t recall where it´s located. Thanks

Actually, it's on a pad on the top surface of the block near the front. Here's a picture. You may need to clean the area to see the numbers.

If the original motor is in the car, check the VIN on the dash. The fith digit will be B for 198, C for 225. There were also tune up stickers in the engine compartment with the motor size. |

Oy yeah, my bad, that's visible on the BASE of the head, below the alternator, right? sorry, we only had 225 slants, and I was "playing by ear" having read this before right here at the forum.

Rat Farts! I was hoping my 74 had a 198.  I should have known when I saw the power steering pump!
