Well, if it's an original factory installing, the 8th digit of the VIN should be a G or an H. I think that's it. I'm sure that if I'm wrong, someone here will whap me upside the head and give you the right info ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes, the 8th character in the VIN is the engine code, and is an "H" for the 351W H.O. (Letter "G" for the 351W). The H.O. was only offered in 84-86 Broncos, with a Holley 4180 4bbl carb and 4bbl intake.

If it is the stock engine in a 83 Bronco it is NOT the ** engine. It wasn't offered then.

Good luck,

Also they were NEVER offered in california emissions equipped trucks because they didn't meet california smog requirements.
