That because you have an 84', if you had an 85 you would have a truck motor.

With all this talk about different parts on people's motors,i figured i better lift the hood and make sure mine is all original. Sure enough i pop the hood and there is a 4 cylinder engine under there. Come to find out it was my bad, i bought a Chevette instead of a Corvette. I'll have to pay more attention on my next car purchase.
