    Hrm... interesting.

    It appears to be on backwards also... because of the written "carb side"
    or someone wrote on the wrong side

    Either has an Aussie head or that probably isn't a 200 or 250. My guess is that it has an Aussie head on a 250 but could be a 240 or 300??

    Looks good! Wouldn't mind having it in the maverick. Am I mistaken or do the freeze plugs look off in their locations?

    I`m pretty sure it`s a 250 with an Aussie or aftermarket head. My car is a 250 and I`m a 6cyl lover. From what I see in the photo,mines identical. It`s cool,regardless! I would like to know what`s under that head!:thumbs2:

    They`re mounted on right. you can`t reverse the bolt pattern,the ports won`t line up!:)
