Hey all,
First time posting so excuse me if it's in the wrong area.
My P5 took a dump on me with 329k on the clock and it's time for a new motor. I'm gong to ultimately rebuild the current motor but have time constraints so I just need to get a motor in asap. I have an FSDE in it but when I go to look up motors for sale, I see FSDE or FSZE labels (in various ads for the motors) they visually look the same to me (save for a few things here and there on the intake manifold). I tried googling the "FSxxxxx" number I see on some of the blocks but that doesn't indicate whether it's an FSDE/ZE block or not (that I can tell). Wikipedia didn't help either.
Does anyone know of a quick way to tell if the block is a FSDE/ZE?
Thanks.
