Early engines have the intake and exhaust on the same side. 76 and later have the intake and exhaust on opposite sides. They are all 1.8 liter engines.

This info is for gas engines, not for diesel.

is it a 4.3? 2.5? 2.8? it wouldnt bolt directly up but i would think it would be really easy to swap it in with some mount mods and a modified driveline. 5 speed or auto? either way it would be a lot more enjoyable on the highway :lol:
