How do you make a 3 door Cosworth go fast?????????
Discussion
intake and valve covers are different again with a gen 4, lots of other things as well including 0.1 L, heads and VVT etc. There is a mopar package to put gen 4 heads on a gen 3 though so that can confuse things.
what’s the VIN number stamped on the engine, should be on the rear of the block below the right head on a gen 4. Vin digit 8 should be z for 8.4L gen 4 engine, I don't have a gen 3 service manual to confirm z doesn't also apply to the 8.3 engine though but you would hope not.

There is a paper slip on the front head which has the following numbers on.
P05037814AA V10 814
TPTE3346600005
Looking from the front on the left hand side at the front is stamped
08 U or V 8.4L
0208280042
On the rear of the block under head is
C5354
301568
216
G1
On the head at the rear right
F2790801
And on the front
18063
I believe the inlet is from a truck but not sure. Thanks for any help.

wonder if it was the gen4 mule that was on ebay for a while last year
hmm could be, especially if there is no VIN number stamped on it, Its definitely a gen 4 intake and valve covers, water pump is in the right place but not sure where it is on a gen 3, If its the mule then all bets are off at to what it actually is as its probably a bit of both.Vin number should look something like
1B3JZ69Z??V??????
