Re: engine id numbers
 

Yer welcome. What year were you hoping for? There were model-year
changes to emission controls and manifolds, and changes in the valve
cover helps mark a few years as well, so if you give us a ball-park on
the year someone here might be able to match it to the engine they have.

Oh, and the engine plant ran on a calendar year schedule, while the
vehicle plant ran on a model-year schedule. This means that the engine
put in by the factory might not have the same year ID as the frame.
