83 FC - Is my engine 225 or 250 horse?
I have not checked mine out yet to tell which engine it might be. I
know it came from the factory with a 225hp, but was told it was replaced with a rebuilt 250hp, but don't have any documentation on it. Getting it out of storage tonight for the summer so now I will have it at the house to play with and try to figure these things out. Just ordered a new back up camera system from rvcams.com, so that will be this weekends project.
