Alright, yeah I definitely didn't want a ls in it....thats just them. Ls/diesel heads, which I can appreciate as well. But your right Charlie, not what I have in mind for the truck at all. Im looking for a good reliable rebuild, which ever route it may be...(which is still in question). So to answer about the #'s. I have looked at the fire wall and it says L18 on the badge. But you go down to where y'all are talking about,(which I did spot as well, took some research but I found it before)....it's just really faded, an even after some cleaner and a rag...cause I didn't want to put a brush to it(how hard it is to read)...it looks to me like it makes out to be a 16....you can hardly even see the L part...so I've read about the vertical notches in the back of the motor to tell the difference, but I myself...don't really know exactly what I'm looking for...so in my opinion, I have a L16 by what my eyes have seen(be it may faded to hell) that has sat for 15yrs or so since last it ran...was locked, which is now unlocked, turns, but i say needs to be flushed probably 2 more times just to smoothen it out more...then possibly split the head to inspect why I had water coming out the oil pan first....so can either of you point me in the direction of a L20 or a ka or since I and my friends haven't even heard the thing start up yet, should I try to clean the carb(Fab a spacer) put it on and see what it does before I go swapping? Or is it a waste of $ in y'all's experience?...

My wife does NOT agree lol. 

You know, I never realized that you were actually lifting the truck when I did those drawings for you..lol. When I get a new computer I'll have to do a new rendering for you.
