    Doesn't anyone have pictures of their 2.8 V6 conversion in progress or any stage of construction. If you do, please email them to me or email link to anonbalias@gmail.com Andrew, If you could find pictures of this and instructions for a basic swap I think it would be great for the publication.

    vin number

    I am looking at a MustangII to take the engine for a V6 conversion. The car has parts from more than one car. Is there a place on the engine to find the vin number or a way to otherwise identify it as a 2.8? I am 400 miles from the car and can't compare it with anything.
