AnswerYou're looking in the right place, and YJ is a 350, not a 400. I don't know what the numbers mean, probably a date code but I don't know how to decode it.
The 350 is a good engine, so don't feel bad about it. The guy who said it was a 400 was probably conned by the person he bought it from. If it runs good, drive it!
You buy houses the same way I do! A big shop is essential.
