Hi all,
I have a LX SLR with a 6 cylinder. Prior to replacing it to a V8, how can i check to see if this engine was originally came with the car as it was produced?
I have spoken to Vicroads, but seem to be going in circles.
Thanks
Jamie

If you have a genuine SL/R the only 6 cylinder engine available was the 3.3 (202), the VIN will start with 8D69L... and the engine code on the Body ID plate will be L20 with an M20 or M40 Trans. The Model No for an SL/R is 8VD69. The original 202 engin Edited by user Sunday, 5 August 2007 8:44:04 AM(UTC)

I actually saw a 173 powered LX SL/R once. The VIN plate had a D and it had the 173 code on the BODY plate. Never saw another one.

M20 is a wide ratio Aussie 4 speed.
The body is Dandenong built and assembled.
The last character of your VIN (Middle Tag) should be an X.
