Anyways i purchased a real nice looking K8. I get it home and i start to notice several differences between the new k8 and the old k8 i just pulled from my mx-3. First the IM on the new K8 is not a curved neck like what is on my old K8, the new K8 has a straight neck IM, second the distributor on my old K8 had 2 electrical plugs for the computer, the new K8 only has one plug. I checked the block and heads on the new k8 and the heads have K8 stamped on them, and stamped into the block near the timing pully is K8 292545. I am noticing a few other small differences between my old K8 and the new K8 like how the 2 fuel lines are routed. At first i though i was sold a KF because the IM's look similar, but after seeing the K8 292545 casting near the timing pully i am starting to wonder what the heck i have.
I have attached a few photos of the new K8 and my old K8. I am hoping the experts here can help identify what the heck i have.
