83 FC - Is my engine 225 or 250 horse?

[Andy Coleman]

Hi Tom,

I have that sticker on my motor, but it gives ratings and stats on 4
different engines available in 03 from 170 to 250 HP. It does not say
specifically which one I have. All it tells me about my motor is that
it was manufactured in 82. Anywhere else I can look?
