What block do i have?

[charlieboy]

can someone give me the number of the 2.5 and 2.7 blocks i will like to know what block do i have

[E30_fiend]

do you have just the block or do you have the whole motor?


i can run out to my car in a bit and grab the numbers off of mine and that will tell you which one you have.

blocks themselves are identical, difference is in internals and head.

[charlieboy]

i know that the block are identical but my block is stock but i dont know if is a i or e it has the dome pistons and some say that they come in the eta and some, even a have seen a theard identifying the dome piston as i i just want to know what number is the e block and i block... my car is crazy it has all e exectp the head (885), the differencial and when i remove the head it has the dome pistons, everything else is eta, but in the door and the license say 325e... men can anyone tell what car do i have it has the eta gaugues too.

Sounds like you might have a "budget stroker". In other words, somebody put an "i" head on an "eta" engine. It's fine that way and might make a bit more power.

There's no mention of the production date of the car, which might mean that the OP has a SuperETA.

there's no mention of the production date of the car, which might mean that the op has a surereta.

Go to realoem.com and plug in the last seven of the VIN to find out what the car is supposed to be.

OK, now you are completely contradicting yourself. I know there is a language barrier here, but you need to be clear. If the door says i, if the head is an i head, the pistons are i pistons and the diff is for the i cars, then my guess would be that you have an i car.

Also, how high does your tach read?

[charlieboy]

the tach reachs only to 5 RPM but i think is from another car
