What year is this? What is the VIN#? There are a ton of engine codes, we will need a little more info.

o I'm sorry. maybe I worded it wrong. I wasn't asking you guys to tell me if it was ariginal or not. I was asking how you tell if it is original or not. that way I can do it my self.

Well, first you decode the VIN and see if the engine they gave matches the engineyou have. Next I would find the casting number on the engine block and decoed that. That will tell you what year it was made and what car it was placed in. This isn't a full proof way, but it's 90% accurate in my mined.

thanks thats exactly what I wanted to know.

where can I find A decoder.I thought this site had one but I can't find it. I also ran A search for one and suprisingly all I found was one for the newer mustangs.
