Your VIN code H indicates a factory 351C 2V; a factory 351C 4V would be VIN
code M. The other indication is that you have an FMX; typically, for the 4V
Cleveland, Ford put a C6 tranny in (although the FMX was still an orderable
option, I believe). The easiest way to tell if this came originally in
your vehicle is to look for the 6 digit serial # stamped on the back end of
the driver side cylinder head; this would correspond to the last 6 digits
of your VIN if it's original.

Also, Ford didn't offer a vinyl roof on the Mach, that might have been
added by a dealer or a previous owner of the car.
