I'm curious how to tell if my '85 wagon has the original engine. I bet it does but stuff was done to it and I'd be curious to know. I can't find the actual vin number on the engine block, but these are the numbers I've found. It's a b230f. Vin number is yv1ax8854f3596505, two numbers on the cam cover are 499858 and in smaller lettering 1778. On the engine block there are several numbers but the last 5 I can make out as 01778 so it looks like the last four of that sequence is on the cam cover. Anyone able to decipher this info and tell me if it's original or not?
Thanks,
Lewis
