What year is this car and engine? Where are you getting the engine code from? Is right in front of the passenger side (american passenger side) valve cover? If you can get the casting number off the back of the engine that could give us a lot more information. It sounds like you're giving us the engine ID code and I couldn't find a VP suffix.
