Another ID question (engine)
Is there a way to tell when my engine was manufactured? Trying ascertain weather it is correct for my 41 slat grill.

Re: Another ID question (engine)
The block casting date should be on the passenger side of the block, about 5 inches forward of the bell housing and 1 1/2 inches above the oil pan. That will give you a month and date, the MB number stamped on the machined pad under the oil filter will tell you what year it was made.
