How do I read the door Tag & determine what engine is in the car?
.........I continue to have problems with photos................... Sorry
DOOR TAG....
1st # is model year
*2nd number is Engine - 1 is LS1 & 6 is LS6
GMMG Door tag is not in sequence with car #
* GMMG upgraded many engines after the original build & the door tag May not reflect this. The 2nd number is the engine that was in the car wen it was originally built by Matt & GMMG.
Please let us know if you have information to add or corrections. Jim Smith - GMMG Registry

11035 ---Berger SS #45 - Phase IIX/475hp
1st number is 1 - 2001
2nd number is 1 - LS-1 - 380hp - (later upgraded)
Last 3 - 035 - car sequence (not the car #)
SS #45 is Phase IIX/475hp -automatic that was upgraded after the original build.
The door tag matches the car # on PE #37 - 2002 - LS1-380hp (upgraded to Phase IIX/475hp) & car #37
How can I determine what engine is in the car?
LS1 Phase 1 - 380hp - There is a stamp on the passenger side - middle of the heads where the black braded hose is.
Wipe it off because it will be small & hard to see.
(If the car has headers it will not be there)
LS1 Phase II & IIX - the passenger side head will be stamped (front)
From Jim's Berger SS #76 - Phase II/435hp - (note car # - B 76)
Others? There is a stamped plate on the top center of the engine
