i would have thought the 87 had a 7m. i might be wrong. or did they just use a 6m crank in the 7m block?

so i have to make sure of wiring harnesses too. good deal

anyone else have more to input?

1990 is when the 7m crank came in our motors. it was still the 6m right through 1989.

then maybe m 89 7m is a mut?

all the codes match. as far as i have seen. im not trying to doubt anyone here. just trying to double check.

EDIT: i think you guys are trying to tell me that the 7m had the 6m crank through 89, right? if so, about when was the change over (build dates?)

08/89 is when the fully-counterbalanced ("7M") crank replaced the "6M" crank. Redline dropped from 6500rpm to 6250rpm.

not all the round-mount 7mgte's came with the 7m crank. mine sure didn't.
