VIN decoder
Trying to decide this VIN bought it and found a rod went through the oil pan. I will need a new motor and would like to get it close to original as possible. Thanks in advance for any help here.
G = 302 2V V8
L = Michigan Truck Plant
Y60198 = 1977 numerical series, May 1977 build date

Since you will need a whole new long block, do yourself a favor and get a the latest F150 or Mustang roller 5.0 you can find.
You can retrofit your front cover, water pump, probably even valve covers etc, along with the 2bbl manifold. If you are clever, you will add 100 hp without anyone being able to tell.....
I'm sure I will be back on here with more questions as the build goes on.
Since the motor was shot we decided to do a frame off rebuild. I'm not rich by any means so it's going to be a slow process.
