The TR250 motor has the EXACT same setup at the '69 TR6. I can't tell the
motors apart, except for the alternator and fan blade to the water pump, there
is no difference. I'm pretty darn sure of this, please correct me if I'm
wrong.

Guys,
Let us not forget about the 1968 TR250 having a PCV valve:)
