Older motor in newer car?
Ok i was just doing some looking at my motor and found something weird.
The vin comes up with the car being a 2002 but here's the kicker The motor in it has the early 01 water pump. Now I haven't been to upset about it since i put a blower on it but whats the deal on this? When I bought the car about 6 1/2 7 months ago with 36k on the clock which to me seemed fine, no warrenty blower time, but this realy concerns me as to why there is a 01 or older motor in my car? Any imputs as what i could do before any problems start to arise out of my motor. Another quick note I can't find a vin number on the car except the one on the dash by the windshield. |

I thought I've read somewhere that it wasn't too uncommon to have an older water pump in a 02 GT. If thats the case, you probably also have the older PI intake manifold. I wouldn't sweat it, but check into it when you gots time.

where can i find the vin number on the engine bay and on the chasis?
Also is there a way to check to make sure i have the 3650 trans, because i have that shifter in there and want to make sure it is the right one! Reason for asking is some 01 take t45 and some the 3650 |

if you have the 3650 shifter and it fit, you have the 3650.
