83 FC - Is my engine 225 or 250 horse?
I also have an '83 mine was built in oct '82 and titled as an '83.
Mine is a 225HP it should be on the head covers, passenger side rear of the cover mine also has the max RPM 2600 on it. As I understand it they switched to 250HP late in '83 only the last 10 or 20 units of the year, or something like that. It's a good bet it's a 225HP, but who knows some have been changed out, and if that has happened most likely it's a 250HP. I know it makes a diffrence on it parts you will need to buy. Maybe someone here knows how to look at them to tell the diffrence.
