Default 89 Engine codes

Bored and doing some reading.. Just saw that in 89 there were 3 engine codes.

Engine Codes



4 is 3.8L EFI V-6 145hp

E is 5.0L EFI V-8 215hp

0is 5.0L EFI V-8 240hp


Whats the "0" code. What car would that have been in? Also what VIN number is the engine code. Is it the 8th or the 9th?

I though engine code was just E for v8. There wasn't a v6 fox in 89 anyway. Sounds like you found a bad source for info.

You were right... bad source of info. Found another site and got the correct information. I was hoping to find what the original color was for my car. I guess they did not record that in the VIN.
