I need to upgrade to a newr 904 tranny anyway and the engine came with the tranny and it's torque converter. It's weird that it's a mid 70s block since it has solid lifers and adjustable rockers
Hydraulic lifters started for the 1980 model year.
Before then, all of the slant sixes had solid lifters with adjustable rockers.
Another easy way to tell a 170 or 198 from a 225 without looking at the numbers is to look where the water pump and head outlets are.
The short deck (G engines) have a very short hose connecting them while a 225 (RG engine) has a longer hose to connect them. They are roughly an inch longer on the 225.
