Hi trifive community,
Something blew out the bottom of my oil pan a couple weeks ago - serious damage.
Engine is a 283 v8 (2 barrel). I believe it is factory original (not certain though). VIN says car is a 210 with inline 6 engine, but have mixed advice on the chance that the 283 engine could have been a factory option upgrade.
I'd like to get your perspective and advice/guidance on a few questions:
Thanks for your help.

I'd like to get your perspective and advice/guidance on a few questions:
- Where can I find the numbers on engine to determine if they match the car?
- If it actually DID come with the car originally, should I try to rebuild it?
- If the numbers don't match, is it best to simply get a new engine or rebuild it?
Thanks for your help.
