1987 ih s1600 what engine?

Hi guys,last week I posted about
getting it home,I ended up renting a
temporary plate from a towing
company,but aside from that,the guy I
bought it from didn't know what engine
it has,so I am trying to figure that
out.I thought it was a 6.9 because as
far as I know the 7.3idi came out in
88,and I also checked the vin#,which
comes up as 6.9,but I know that does't
really guarantee anything,because it
could have been swapped.the sticker on
the valve cover is faded,so I can't
read it,I did check the head
bolts,which have 1/2" heads,which
leads me to believe it's a 7.3.is
there any other way to
verify,thanks,Rock
 
Doesn't really matter if it is a 6.9 or 7.3 IDI, either one is a slug. All maintenance parts will be the same anyway. I was thinking the 6.9 was red, or had red valve cover, while the 7.3 was always grey.
 
Hey guys,not that this really matters,but the engine is blue in color,here are some pictures if it,thanks,Rock
