Yeah, but... no 18G's ever had full synchro trannies... so, assuming
Scott didn't make up the WE digits, my guess is he missed a character
after the G, probably an H., making it an 18GH motor, 1968-70...
At any rate the number doesn't add up as it stands.
Steve Conley had this to say:

>"WE" denotes fully synchronized 4-speed
>"H" denotes high compression
>Hope this helps.

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
