    According to the MSA-1 engine identification code guide,
    the XJA suffix code identifies a 1996 350ci 210 hp L31 engine attached to a 700R4 trans in either a 1/2 ton body or a 3/4 ton body.

    To verify this, there should be no fuel pump on the motor but the boss is there with NO cover plate. If you stick your finger in the location were the fuel pump push rod goes, you will find that the hole is not drilled. Also, the engine is a one piece rear main seal motor. It also probably has brass freeze plugs installed from the factory. The engine should have a plastic timing chain cover with a hole on the lower passenger side for the CKP.
