At times a vehicle manufacturer may use engines of the same size, be it in liters or cubic inches, in a particular year, make, and model vehicle. In these cases there is a need to further identify which engine has been installed. In most cars and light trucks, this is done as part of the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) but in some cases, it is only identified on various locations of the engine itself. The VIN is a plate on the dash, seen through the drivers side windshield. This chart covers most vehicles made since 1982.
