What do you mean by engraved, do you mean hand engraved with a Dremel or similar ?? Originally they are stamped in 'dot matrix' type format.
VR & VS V6 engines look quite different, most people familiar with them could tell in 30 seconds.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

If you're looking at just the blocks, then it's real easy too - the VS onwards ecotec is about 1" shorter in the deck height compared to the VN-VR block. You don't even need a tape measure to spot the difference as it's that obvious when you look at the 2 side by side.
You can't use the VS stuff in your VP, so I hope it's not a VS motor you have.
If luck is on your side, and it's a VR engine, then the VR gear will drop straight into your VP - only difference is the VR autos have an additional sensor on the front near the water pump, that your VP doesn't, so you just leave it disconnected and it won't harm anything. |
Cheers,
Mick
