How could you identify which engine it should have and why? Thanks for you help

Secondly it can't be a 307 as all 307 HT's were autos (except for a rare few you could count on one hand) Thirdly it can't be a 350 manual as it's an 0837. Therefore it must be a 308. Bein

I don't know if or how you can tell what motor it should have had, sorry. "Junk is something you throw out Edited by user Friday, 13 June 2008 4:03:57 AM(UTC)  | Reason: Not specified
