Ok here are my worries now that i am going to buy this motor has anyone swaped in a motor that they didnt know the year of the motor so that they can buy parts. Do you just use the motor casting year for ordering parts

What swap are you thinking of doing?

Sometimes its just a difference in a few gasket design changes or seals such as 1 or 2 pc. rear seals.

I have an AERA (automotive engine rebuilders assoc.) casting manual, i can give you a general idea what years particular casting #s were used.
