i have been told to measure the face gasket, but from what point to what point do i measure, in order to find out if this block can be converted to a 200??
if not then what bolt on kits are available just to give it a bit more umph?

agree looks like indian stamping to me, but neater than most...my 200 casing has a 602 prefix then a 6 digit number
other things to check for are 5 ribs on the flywheel side ingine mount and possibly rubber brake insection windows on the rear brake backplate..these poit to indian
to check if it's a 150 or a 200 you need to take the top end off and measure the bore or spigot size
