Thanks to everyone who has answered parts of my question about a motor ID.
I know that the heads were purchased separately from the block so who knows
what they came off of. I appreciate the firing order infor, but what about
the other numbers on the intake? I'll look for additional numbers on the
block as I seem to be missing some info.

Please respond to

Bobby My charts show the same as yours and I would think the heads could
be
original by having the same years of application. The numbers on the
intake
18436572 is the firing order. Deacon
