- Does anybody know of a sure fire way to identify a 1098 block? It had a 948 head on it and it has the side covers but it does not have the fuel pump hole. It looks like there is a place for a tag to

- Maybe I'm over-simplifying here, but a 1098 is a long block and a 948 is a short block. I have a 948cc. I think both use the mechanical fuel pump as original, though a 1098 owner may give you more in

- Thanks for all the answers. 1. It has side covers. 2. No hole for a fuel pump. But there is a hole with a screw in it about where the left hand stud for the pump would be. 3. It has a bump to the lef

- 1098's had aluminum tags too, stamped "1100". The tag is mounted just forward of the fuel pump location. As I recall, they can be found with both the opening for the fuel pump and also with the casti

- If all that stuff that usually identifies the engine is missing, then you can check the cylinder diameter, which, if it's a 1098cc engine, should be 64.58mm. If it's considerably larger than that, th

- 948 blocks have "950" cast into the side, 1098 blocks have a boss where a "1098" aluminum tag is nail/riveted on. Paul PAsgeirsson@juno.com

- OK, you're right - it was/is 950 on the side of the block, not 948. The cheater used the correct "950" - the error in my posting is a result of my imperfect memory or sub-par, morning mental processe
