Engine code ??

crannersEL · 06-06-2006, 07:22 PM

Hello, when i was looking at the paint code i noticed that there is also an engine code, my code reads "H", its a 1997 EL Falcon what does this letter stand for? and were there different engines accross the EF/EL range?

Thanks Paul

The TECHNICAL RESOURCES area accessable via the nav bar up top is your friend.
The 'H' code stands for the 4.0l MPEFI engine. There were 2 versions of the 4.0l motor (standard - H) and the HP motor ( code X) as well as 2 different variants of the 5.0l V8 (Z, & J)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction mate, i have been to this section before finding out what my pait code equaled. Didn't know it had the engine codes as well.

Thanks again

yep check the head, should be 96DA 6090 AB and the block should have VR2A on the side under the exhaust where the sump and block meet.
