How do I figure it out?
Do you have the rest of the car, or just an SVT engine?
If you have the rest of the car, look for things such as:
• Clock on dash, not in radio (98) -or- plate that says "Contour" (98.5+)
• ...I forgot the others right now!
• Oh yeah, rims: rounded spokes with center cap covering lug nuts (98) -or- concave spokes like other SVTs, exposed lug nuts (98.5+)
Is there some reason that you don't think your engine is original to the car? If not, then yes, what everyone else has posted. I asked a similar question eons ago when I found out from an Oasis report that my engine and MTX had been blown up before I got the car. The general feeling was that the motor was probably the rebuilt original.How do I figure it out?
Some of the E1s got leftover E0 parts. My Contour was like that, click the sig for the breakdown. Most of my interior was 98-specific whereas most of the exterior was 98.5-specific.yes and no, at least with my car.
I have a E1 with a clock on dash, E1 Rims, and the door guards are the way they are on E0. So figure mine out. LOL. And I have a later build date. But it looks like mine is just one that was around the time they changed over and threw extra E0 parts on it.
