Around 2007 the BF225A blocks went from part#12000-ZY3-416ZA to 12000-ZY3-436ZA. Can anyone tell me how to identify the differences in these two blocks? I need a new/used one for mine and not sure what I have or how to be sure I get the right one. And what is physically different?

I did talk to them and determined that my engine uses the 436ZA. contact with used listings showing either number can't seem to tell me how they decided what number theirs is.
 
I just bought a short block for a '04 225 from boats.net, the part number was superseded 3 times. The new block was different than the old but came with a crank drive gear and balancer assembly to work on older engines, I would call Boats.net they know there stuff.
