construct, could you take some pictures of the engine, and take down any casting numbers on the head or the block, if you give us enough clues we'll figure it out, hope that helps. | | |

The pictures will help. The casting number sometimes is behind or under the fuel pump. The serial number stamped on the dist. pad is useful as is the casting date above or sometimes behind the starter. Good luck.
