Hey all, wonderin if you could help me out, im going to the junkyard to go parts scrounging in a few months, and i need to figure out how to tell a L99 4.3L V8 from the 5.7L one. Anything like the VIN digit for the 4.3L or build codes and where to find them, or external differences, that kinda stuff. any help would be greatly appriciated.

Easy to remember
L99 = W = Weak
LT1 = P = Powerful
L99 = W = Weak
LT1 = P = Powerful

I don't smoke many LT1s with my stock L99 but the ricers seriously hate getting pulled by a 2+ ton boat!
