That's a casting number off the side of the block.......need the numbers on the deck right behind/under the alternator.

No worry... all the parts in the engine rebuild kit are the same for either a 198 or a 225.

not the rods and crank

If you get a "master kit" that includes con rods and crank, then you can turn your 198 into a 225... the block and all the other parts are the same.
(Be sure to keep your "core" 198 con rods!)

thats just it though i want to keep it a perfectly stock and numbers matching

Rebuilding the original engine (if yours is in fact the original engine) does not spoil its numbers-matching originality. The rebuild kit does not contain any parts that would change a 198 engine into a 225 engine or the other way around.

alright well thanks but i am just looking to find out if its a 198 or 225

The number you posted (1e128469) is not the engine ID number. Check again, carefully. You're looking for a number stamped on a thin surface that faces the sky, directly below #1 spark plug, inboard of the coil mounting bracket.

3041 is the only other number on my block but the crank number is 2951265

And connecting rod number 2951260 (198 con rod forging number)

What is the number stamped on the ledge behind the alternator and under the #1 plug? Any chance your car has an emissions sticker listing the idle speed and plug gap and such? That sticker will give the engine displacement.

the connecting rod on one side says AAVV 2B and the other side says 2951250 HYG now the number on the ledg i belive you are talking about says 1E128469
