Okay, I'm trying really hard not to make a pest of myself so early on with post after post. But! Something interesting happened today and I need yet more direction.
It all started when hotdog pointed me to an online download of the service manual. Cool, now I'm dangerous.
Was just looking through it and discovered a page telling how to decipher the door tag. Very simple. Except....my 383 4bbl car has a G code not an F code. And according to the owner, the engine is the original. I suspect the owner just didn't know.
Aside from displacement, what are the differences between the two? Any downsides to the 413, if that's what it ends up being? Is there a way to tell by looking at a photo to tell which engine it is and if not, can someone please tell me where to find the number on the engine? Haven't come across that info in the manual yet, or I missed it.
