198ci

Most likely the reason is that 225s vastly outnumber 198s, so when it came time to swap in a replacement engine, a 225 was installed.

(How are you (particularly) discerning a 198 from a 225?)


I had three cars come out of a local yard and I checked the displacement on the block rail right behind the alternator. All three were "B" codes on the vin and all were 225. And I heard someone else here on FABO say he saw the same thing.

Because of that I have had three 198 slant six cars, yet I have never actually had a 198 engine
