Drfixit Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Can you tell from the numbers on the engine block what year the engine is from? How about the transmission? Neither are original and I would like to figure out what year vehicle they were swapped from. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) The L18 was only used from '73.5 through '74 so that narrows it down. Tune up like it's a truck L18. Is this the 5 speed tranny? Edited December 2, 2008 by datzenmike Quote Link to comment
