Just wondering if there is an easy way to tell if you have a 3.3 or a 3.0?
My block says 3.0/3.3 on the side. If I drop the oil pan, will the rods be different?
 
Not easily

as it's mainly the crank and has to be measured. Dished piston as I recall from the specs if by chance the head's off.

One Swedish owner reported a number of 11 21 1 260 315 on his based on some stroker combos that were being discussed.

Bavman? Al asked a month ago trying to figure out a container of ex Korman spares with a lot of cranks.

A bit of trivia- there were only 1622 built in 3.3 carb'd only E3 cars.
 
Ok Thanks. I guess the connecting rods are the same and only the stroke is different? Might be hard to measure the stroke of the crank while it is in the block and I am upside down. I guess a borescope to see if the pistons are dished would be the easiest way.
