where is the VIN number located on the block, and can you tell the year of the motor by it or by any other stamping on the motor?

Ian MMF

Are you trying to tell if it's a 6bolt or 7bolt motor?

n20teg

no what year the motor is ,,trying to get the right sensors

Ian MMF

more details please, when you say sensors I think of stuff like the knock sensor, cam angle sensors, temp sensors, shit like that

Tom N

You need to match the sensors to the computer not the block. What year is the car. If it has a 90 computer and wiring harness then use 90 sensors. If its a 91-94 then use those.

n20teg

the car is a 90 , with ecu and harness, he thinks the motor that cam with sensors is a 91 ,is the any way to tell what year,by the vin?

Tom N

Yes, but you can tell just by looking at the sensors also. is it a complete motor or just a block.

the 10 letter/number of the vin is always the year no matter what year it is...if youd like i can post the key for the years

95Ride

not exactly true cause when you do a 6 bolt swap in a 7 bolt car you use your 7bolt wire harness and ecm but you have to use the 6 bolt sensor cause the 6 bolt doesnt have a cam angle senior and crank angle sensor they are together....not trying to put you down...just informing

Ian MMF

atleast someone actually realized the point i was getting at.
