Well tomorrow I will consult my book (it's in my car and I'm in bed) and I will let you know. Are you positive that the vehicle has no history unbeknownst to you?

It's very possible that I didn't know. But it was a late 2000 so maybe it did have a Romeo engine, but IIRC ky vin said it was a Windsor engine.

I also just realized both of these blocks have 8 bolt cranks.

sailorflavor

If you have both 8 bolt cranks then there has been modification because that is in the windsor. Romeo had 6 bolt. But I guarantee that the engine block with no "W"stamped is a romeo. UNLESS out has a "W" stamped in the oil valley. Check there please!

Do I have to pull the intake to see that? The engine is sitting on a stand currently and I did plan on ripping it apart to sell stuff off it, but that won't happen for a couple weeks.

If it is on a stand then you might be able to see it. It will be stamped right above the oil valley's aft freeze plug. On a flat machined service. I will upload a pic when I get to my computer.

My stock "Romeo"

My WAP

It'll be here

And look like this

Please forgive the dirtiness of the engine, I don't really care about the iron block since I'm getting the WAP in as soon as I receive all my custom made parts. And yes, there are jeweler's files in the oil valley, I'm filing my rings and I had to smooth out my head seating surface since it got damaged when it was shipped to me.
