If you can decode the vin i think it should tell you .

Also, I believe the L82 had an L82 badge on the hood; L48s did not.

if the 5th number in your vin number is a L it is a L48 i belive it is a R four the L82 i have a 77 with the L48 my self
The 5th character on your vin will determine engine type. J for L48 and T for L82.
