This is partially incorrect. The SCJ is a CJ with the Drag Pack, so you can't tell by the VIN, but the car could be an SCJ.

The key is looking at the data plate. If the axle code is for 3.91 or 4.30, then 99% sure it's a SCJ.

Thanks! Would a casting no. on the block differentiate the 2 bolt (CJ) from the 4 bolt main (SCJ)?
