Help with engine no....
Can someone please help me decipher this engine number...
VO319CMB2M20XXXX
It is in an 88 vette, but I am sure it is not the original motor.
TIA

V=Flint Michigan plant
0319= May 19
CMB= 1991 L98 TPI Automatic Transmission
1975 also used CMB as a suffix code, but it more than likely is the 91 because these codes were reused over the years.
Not sure what the 2M20XXX is. It may be a production number for a crate engine.
You need to get the block casting numbers from the back to find out what year(s) it was manufactured to pin point the date a little better.
