Did the 81 luv 4X4 Long bed come with a G-200 stock or the 1.8L?

All LUV pickups came stock whith the G180 1.8L. But the G200 1.9L are a dierct bolt on. The 1.9Ls are just a diferent bore.

Always start with runnin the block numbers. I was told when I traded a luv I had for the motor in my truck, that it was a 350. Then when I ran the numbers, it was a 400. Could of been a very expensive mistake 8O

the number should be cast into the block on the driver side. Look under the exsaust manifold and right above the oil pan.
