Hello All -

I was looking on Ebay for some engine mounts and I noticed it gives two options for engine type -

5.0L 4966CC V8 GAS SOHC NATURALLY ASPIRATED
or
5.0L 4973CC V8 GAS SOHC NATURALLY ASPIRATED

How do I tell which one I have - I ask, because as I mentioned, I was looking for some engine mounts and the 4973CC gives me the option to purchase the FEBI Bilstein mount (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Engine-Moun...0AAOSwDZ1bJDEG) and the 4966CC only allows me to buy the Lemforder one

I'm not sure which one is best - if there is a major difference - but I would like to make sure I purchase the correct/best one

My VIN # is WDBSK75F23F028293 - I did the VIN decoder and it didn't say which engine I have

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks in advance for the help !!

I believe Lemforder is the OEM- you want to stick with genuine motor mounts- no exceptions

Thank you Thank you - for the quick responses - and THANK YOU to @pmercury for the datacard - I very much appreciate that

However, the questions remains, which engine do I have ?

I reviewed the datacard and the VIN decoder - either I'm completely blind and missing it, or its not on there - Does anyone know ???

Thanks @pmercury I appreciate the information.

Just to be curious - do you have any background information on the 4966cc vs 4973cc engine - obviously the 4973cc engine is slightly bigger - was the change a year thing, or was it a running line change and the VIN number is the only way to determine which engine you have?

Also, where would I have found this information - I didn't see it by looking at your datacard or the VIN decoder - just trying to educate myself and understand where/how you got the information

Thank you again for your help !!
