This car had basically been abandoned by the owner, out in the woods for the last year with hols n the top and LH window broken out... Took some persuasion (and $$$$) but he finally let it go. Spent more than I wanted to, but it's was still a fair deal. Sad thing is, it's a 2nd owner car with only 41k on it, and was really nice just 10 years ago....
So trying to figure out what this engine is, found a stamped number SR 8 48 30, in front on RH side of engine (LH side if you're looking at it from the front). Assuming it's a service replacement block, would that # be the consect. # from another car?
See another #, raised, 6M-5, may have a D below it. Another raised # looks like L168. Can anyone make sense of these? Can't access any #'s on the distrib pad, and no raised casting #'s on front.
What a mess in the engine compartment.....:frown3: See next post for engine # pics.
Appreciate any observations/info!
