I'm trying to replace my radiator but I don't know what type of engine I have. You get two chooses for 6 cylinder. just don't know if it's single overhead cam, or overhead valve. Anyone help me figure it out. thanks
 






According to Ford, the VIN number should tell you what engine was originally installed at the fatory. If the 8th alphanumeric in the VIN number is an X, it means that you have an 4.0L, 245 cu. in., OHV(pushrod) V6.

You can also visit Ford's VIN decoder site and learn other tidbits:
