How to tell if engine is original?
Been looking for a 5.0 donor car to use in my 1967, but I'm wondering if there is a way on Fox bodies to tell if the engine and tranny are original to the car? Thanks

there are ways to tell the year of the motor as long as its never been apart, if you look into it, the oil pan gaskets were cork for a period of time, then ford switched to the paper style, there are lots of little bits that you can look into, apparently sometimes the oil pans were painted a different colour depending on the year, but simply enough as 5pt said, a 5 litre is a 5 litre, especially if your gonna rebuild it
