Motor serial numbers

[TominMO]

Has anyone done a study of what the motor numbers were that went into different year Festys/Aspires? In other words, a listing of motor numbers, by year, so we can tell if a motor was swapped in from a different year.

Be nice to do this for transmissions too.

I'll go out tmw and check mine, and list them here. Obviously this list would only work when we know that the original motor is in the car.

Tom,

I have only check manual transmissions for numbers and they have the year of the car they came in and the last seven numbers of the vin of the car.

Well that's easy. So the motor numbers are all we need to be concerned about.
