83ttopgt

Just picked up a very very clean 81 ghia hatch. Supposed to have a 255 v8. The car has a serp belt set-up. IS this normal? My 83 GT has v belts. I was just thinking the motor may have been swapped.

Also, where on a SBF are the casting numbers that tell what it is?

starter side of the block up by the dowl will be casting numbers... should start like this E.........

I had an 82 capri with the 255 in it and it used a serpentine belt.

ive also tried to find the code and I looked every where near the starter.. where exactly is it?

^^^^^you most likely won't be able to see it cause the starter hides it

steve r

well i looked on the other side of the block and i saw the number f1..... engraved in the block so i guess 1991

steve r

not to jack your thread but this is the right number right ?
