Re: Quick Question on IDing engines...

One quick way to visually identify a 356 is the location of distributor. On a 356 it is centered in the block directly under a core or freeze plug. On the 288/327 the distributor is slightly forward of center and just in front of the middle core plug but not under it. To identify between the 288/327 5 main engines believe the only external clue is via the motor number.
