originally it would have been an LG4-The L69 was offered in limited numbers starting in march or april of '83,the L69 differed externally from the LG4 in that it came with a dual inlet air cleaner housing and had an electric fan.If your car still has the original engine,it is an LG4 with 150 HP stock rating.

Re: How can I tell if I Have a crossfire or 4Bbl

Cross fire is dual single barrel TBIs and a special air cleaner assembly

you can start by removing the air cleaner lid. because all you are going to see is a single 4 barrel carburetor.


The engine model is on the VIN ...

Are these trick questions.

Try the Camaro "tech section" on the main page.

The 1983 L69 HO engine were only available with the Manual Trans... and since you do not have CFI you have the basic
LG4 Engine.
