I am going to look at car again this Saturday. I am going to try to get the numbers off the transmission and the rear end housing. I don't believe the engine pad stampings survived, but will try the acid treatment. Can't remember exactly how that works, never done it before. Which type of acid do you use for that??


Thanks!!

The front engine stamping has be machined off back in the late 70's or early 80's. Guess the machinist didn't care about keeping the stamping or re-stamping. I can't remember if my cousin had the engine rebuilt or it had already been done when he bought this car. I am trying to get to look at the car again and get the stamping off the transmission and rear end. Is there any way to tell about this car just from the VIN and cowl tags??

I am trying to determine if this is a L30/M20 car. This was my cousins car and has been parked since 1992, his son has decided to sell it. I get most of the decoding. It still has 327(casting 3903352) 4 speed 12 bolt(unable to get stamping yet) with radius rod(rod missing). Car has remote side mirror,fold down rear seat and rear defog.
