How do you tell the sizes? damper difference, distributor location, etc.? Where would the 'numbers' be on one? Thanks! If it helps, this motor is in '63 Dodge 330 w/a 3spd stick. Thanks!

Prob need to clean it to see them. www.slantsix.org for more info on /6's. I think the 198 didn't come out till '69 or '70 live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Thanks! the engines are basically the same other than the 170 and 190 have a shorter hose from water pump to head. its very easy to discern the diff of 225 from the other two by standing by battery and looking across at the water pump hose that runs up to the head . on the 225 the little hose is about 4 inches long where as the 170 190 the hose is about 2 " long

All engines use the 3.40" bore and the cranks all have different strokes. The heads are all basically the same and most parts interchange easily except cranks and some valve stuff. Later engines used hydralic lifters. All engines used forged cranks until around '73~'74 or around then, when they went to cast.
