roy1 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post. I have an unusual situation and hope I'm in the right forum. I have just purchased the drive train package (front sub-frame from a 3.1 Buick-engine-trans-drive axels-wheels) and steering wheel (no car body). The previous owner believed it was from a Century model and was either a 94 or 96 model. I've searched on line and called some parts dealers without any luck until I found this forum which I hope can shed some light on identifying this package. Can anyone tell me how to identify the model and year for sure? Is there a VIN number some where on the engine? or some other useful codes? or? (hoping for something that doesn't require dismantling anything). Thanks for the help Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Yes there should be a vin on both the engine and trans if I'm not mistaken.... If you get that, we can tell you what it is. ALTHOUGH the Century wasn't a w-body until the 2000's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you advise the specific location on the engine/trans where the VIN would be located? Many thanks Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornado_735 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Get us a photo of the setup if you can, and we'll be able to identify it for you. There were 3 generations of the 3.1 (The 3.1 MPFI, the 3100, and later, the large port 3100) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
