16 Year Old Looking For A Bronco

This is kind of a weird question but I'm 16 and looking for a '92-'96 Bronco
with a 5.8L 351 Engine. I was looking on automart.com and saw a Bronco with
a "351 Engine" (I found out through Ford's Website that if the VIN has the
letter H as the 8th number its a 5.8L Engine but if it has the letter N as
the 8th number it is a 5.0L Engine) the Bronco I saw a letter N as the 8th
number but the owner said it was a 5.8L Engine. I was just wondering if
there is anyway other way you can tell if a Bronco has a 351 Engine? I was
thinking that particular Bronco might have been in a side collision and the
owner bought a new door with a different VIN sticker on it. Does it say What
size engine it is on the actual engine or in the engine compartment?

Thanks,
Kris

DO NOT look for the VIN on the doors. The VIN to use is found at the base of
the windshield on the left hand side. You can compare any other VIN that you
find against this one.

Lift the hood and look at the motor. The 5.8 and 5.0 use different intake
manifolds, and are clearly stamped with the displacement. If the intake has
been changed, I suggest the vehicle should stay put and never set tire in
your driveway.

351ci is the same as 5.8L, 305ci is the same as 5.0L. "CI" is cubic inches,
"L" is liter. I don't know what the 8th digit denotes, but I did a VIN
search once upon a time, and displacement does not strike me as the meaning
of any of the digits.

I _think_ the 5.8L is available with the XLT and Eddie Bauer, the 5.0 comes
on the XL.
