IIRC it's the number of notches on the crankshaft trigger ring for the ignition system crank sensor. The info I have says the early crankshafts ('92-'95) have 6 notches. And the trigger ring on these is cast integral with the crank.
'96-'97 3.2's, I'm pretty sure I remember Jerry Lemond saying that they have more notches on the trigger ring and are not compatible with the early ign system. The trigger ring is pressed-on.
So check the notches on your "new" engine's crankshaft trigger wheel, if the wheel has 6, you should be Good To Go. Beyond that, I'll defer to the 6VD1 experts! 😸
