Brad, I didn't think about VIN providing some insight on the actual year. I was hoping the motor was a diamond in the rough but it's just as well. It will get the car around town until its replaced. Thanks, Tom

Front engine boss has two sets of numbers > VO507UFO and T6F526006 (I'm guessing this number is part of the VIN). Soneone else suggested UFC as a possible suffix and I think that's a good guess. My MSA-1 guide shows UFC as the suffix for an '86 truck 305 and that matches the year digit (6) in the partial VIN. Brad
