The Serial number on the door post only indiactes if its a 6 or 8 cyl. engine car.Does not indiacte which V8 engine.The 250 HP engine will have an R or RA in the block code stamp.The 300 HP a RB,RK,SB or SG..
The 300 Hp engine will have an Aluminum Carter AFB carburetor and the large 2 1/2" exhaust pipes.
