Re: howdoiknowifitsanMCmotor?
We've all been through this before. You'll hear different things, but this
IS right: 86 and ups had the mc. Period. To be on the safe side, if the
displacement is 2,226 (I hope I got the number right)/2.2 litres, you have
an mc (gen 2) turbo. The first gen mc was used in late 85 and had a 2,144
cc displacement and 8.3 compression.
