i need help

[b4stealth00]

hi, i'm a newbie to the festiva world, not to cars in general, but just to festivas (aspires, prides, etc....). on this forum whenever someone is talking about an engine or a transmission they refer to it with a series of numbers and letters. well, im completely confused as to what they all mean so i was wondering if someone would be kind enough to make a list of them and exactly what they are (displacement, car they came out of, etc...) or tell me what they all mean. thanks.

Here is a list of cars and their transmissions:
