3.0 Id Help

[fordblueblood]

I just purchased a 90 Ford Ranger with a 3.0. Before you think I went nuts , somebody removed the original 2.9 and replaced it with a 3.0. The issue I have is trying to figure out what year 3.0 I have.The motor is one with a distro vs distributor less ignition. Where are the casting numbers on the engine so I can figure out what I have. Right now I pulled codes and I get codes 84 and 85. The 84 is an easy issue as the solenoid is not present but my engine does not have an egr. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure on the location of the casting number but the presence of a distributor doesn't mean anything. All blocks can support a distributor or a Cam Synchro sensor.

All 3.0L are basically the same, as long as its an OBDI it should be the same as any other OBDI 3.0L I would think

Not sure, I need to get to the ECM and see if they had changed it to a 3.0 one or used the old 2.9 one.
