NOTJUSTA6

I know there have been a lot of questions about this. But my 8th letter on my vin is x. But the donor car I got it out of was a 97. I have been told that x comes in 01 and up. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Ok I have 11 valve cover bolts(Romeo?) and I was reading that X is a windsor motor. I'm confused !! Help !! Pleease !!! =(

So are you saying that you swapped a motor from a 97 into your car? Im lost. Need more information.

What year is your car?

My 8th letter is X and I have a 99

My car was a 98 V6 we got a donor car which was 97 gt. We did the full swap on it a few months ago.The car runs great.I was justwanted to check my 8thletter on the vin.I have a title for the gt thats how I found the vin numbers. From what I'm hearing X doesnt come in 94-98?

First of all it's a VIN, not a VIN number. Secondly, the X just means it was a V8. My 8th digit is an X as well.

Sorry. I know its a VIN. I'm just used to hearing the phraseVIN number for the last 27 years of my life. And I was looking to see what the X meant in the Haynes manual and it did not say. So I figured i would ask.

8th letter is just engine size
10th is model year

those are the only 2 that are commonly used

X Simply means the car contains a GT V8 from the Windsor plant in Ontario.
My 96 GT has an X as well.. Funny story.
After looking up my VIN in my FoMoCo books (I'm a Ford Technician), I found that my VIN did not match the Text specifications. A '4', a 'W' or I believe a 'T' is what the book described to be the engine check digit. Therefore, my VIN was unknown to Ford. However, after a rendezvous with my Parts department, I discovered via old parts slips and availibility checks that an X code was stamped for all V8 4.6's manufactured at the Windsor Plant. Other numbers correspond to several other Engine plants around NA.
