Like said, should be on tha motor paper work. If not, there is a build date stamped on tha motor. Port side, bottom of number 2 clyinder on tha block half where tha case half splits. Kinda behind tha advance timing arm........T

you don't have to title your motor, her in sc we do, plus it makes it easy to keep up with that kind of details to.

wtl, be careful on shelby pal. if ya use anything white...it'll turn kinda yellowish and brown. there is a lot of iron in that body of water. stains EVERYTHING! what to use? i heard yellow sally's, which i take as spinners, lol. black i think as well. been a LONG time since i was there. fished it once, that was enough for me, hahaha. didn't do SQUAT.
