Well, you have a Y8 .... it has to be from 96-00. Does it have it's original transmission on it? If so, can run the VIN through CarFax to find out about the car it came from.

It should say on the head in a little circle with the year in it. Something like 9/9 but with the circle around it. That will be a 1999 head. Get the point.
