You need to get the number on the rear drivers side of the block. Between the top drivers side trans bolt and the second trans bolt. (3970010 for example.)

IIRC, the VO number tells you where and when the block was made, and for what vehicle. You could try to break it down and figure out the size, but its easier to get the other number and go to www.mortec.com .

V = Flint Mich.
08 = August
26 = 26th of the month
OHE = the engine suffix code. You need to find out what the suffix codes are for 3rd gens, this will tell you what you have. (Mad mikes site doesnt do 3rd gen codes anymore )
