I have a 1981 Vette and the VIN engine code is 6

I can't find anywhere on the web that tells me what motor 6 represents.

I'm sure someone here knows!

Thanks in advance.
 
All '81 Corvettes had the same engine, a 190 HP L81.

There are four possible engine machine codes, these will be identifies by the last three letters on the engine stamp pad.:beer
 
First off, welcome to the CAC. Take a moment to go over to the New Member forum and introduce yourself and perhaps post a picture or two of your Corvette.

Secondly, there is a Model Center here on this great website with all sorts of great information about every year of the Corvette and is always being updated as information is found out. According to what I found, the 8th digit in the VIN indicates the type of engine in the 1981 Corvette and in this case a "6" means you have the L81 engine.

Take a look: 1981 Model Center
