I have already been through many books, and have been through the numbers.
Well here goes
vin is 621C01886
engine in car has HI6370 on block, and S10622G G2793 on the front of the right cylinder head, the last part apears to be a stamping from someone who rebuilt the engine.
The other engine has HI5802, and S104515G is on the head.
Something I find interesting is that in all the books and information I have found online, the S and G on the cylinder head are supposed to be together if its the hi compresion 4bbl head. This has been another concern of mine. The engine ran strong when I drove it 20 years ago, but since the spark plug stripped out of the right cylinder head is also the one that has the serial number on it. I want to rebuild whichever is the original head if posible.
Here is a list I have compiled about my car from books and such so far.
