Variations within the ly7 v6 motor

[Simso1]

Folks,

when i bought a replacement motor for my ute the seller clarified for me as I almost bought a VZ ly7 motor, that I can only run a Ve ly7 motor, the Vz has sub numbers like H7a,H7b,H7c, more out of interest what do these numbers mean.

also within the ve ly7, is there sub variants.

appreciate any wisdom

You can absolutely use any LY7.
Swap your sensors and throttle body, intake etc over.

Yeh, my engine is all swapped out now, was just surprised by how many variants.

I found out the correct terminology is a broadcast code, was curious if anyone had a sheet that listed the numbers and what they meant, more for curiosity than anything else

The motor I ended up fitting had a h7w code and the engine it replaced was an ac1
