would somebody tell me what code goes with what motor. i read about all these code cars. we used to just tell people what size the motor was.

 

The codes are normally included by the letter type in your VIN number, such as: an H or Q code. I have a 73 351C-H code engine, which basically means an 8 cylinder with low compression and a two V or two barrel carburator. You should be able to "Google" your model year and the letter code of your engine. R/John
