I didn't know engines have vin numbers :smt017

well they say numbers matching, so i thought there would be a way to tell if it were numbers matching then.

so there isnt any way to figure out what vehicle a ceretain engine came out of?

#'s matching cars are worth more then non #'s matching cars

plain and simple

i am 100% sure my car isnt numbers matching. the guy i bought my car from says its from a 93 cobra, but images of a 93 cobras motor are diff from what my motor looks like. so i wanted to know what vehicle my motor came from.

My frist car definitely would have been worth more if it didn't have the original motor. It all depends on what motor the car had to start with.

well a 93 Cobra motor would be EFI, and from what I've read you've got a 78 right? So it was more then likely converted to carb, so yeah, it wouldn't look the same.
