200 or 250?

I have a 70 Maverick with a i6 and I have no way of knowing if it's a 200 or 250.

Any suggestions?

thanks

 

i dont think 70s had 250s as an engine option

just 170s and 200 that year, i think...

but look at the starter. if its next to the oil pan its a 250. if its above the oil pan next to the block its a 170-200

if you want to post the vin we can atleast tell you what the car originally came with

 

If its the original motor, the 5th digit in the Vin # will be a T for 200 and a L for a 250.

 

Thanks. I found out it's a 250....

All this time I thought it was a 200 just because of the air cleaner decal, but today i went to get a carb gasket for a 200 and it was too small, and a 250 fit. And now what you told me just proved it.

 

Ya it says T so it's not the original engine as I was told it was when purchasing it. Thanks.

 

That just means someone either changed the head, or changed the carb spacer itself, not that the entire engine was changed. A gasket for a 200 won't fit my 200 either, because I changed the carb spacer and am running a RBS carb off a 250... but the engine in my car is a 200.

A 250 will have 4 bolts holding the water pump on, where as a 170 or 200 will have three.
