    the last digit of your Engine ID number should be a '4'.

    Original Engine...

    Thanks Bob...Yeah, it has what appears to be its 'original engine'..but I just don't have anyway of verifying that by referencing its VIN...like I do my corvettes which have the engine s/n as part of the VIN...I was just curious if a Buick had some way of telling if the engine came with THAT chassis....thanks again, Bob (Buickpilot)
