RE: 390fe Vin ID numbers on block?
By hawkrod - 02/15/2002 11:47:33 AM; IP 198.81.16.48
the numbers are usually on the drivers side rear just above the bellhousing holes and below the top of the deck. they can not be seen by mere mortals if the engine is in the car. actually they can but its not pretty! you need lights and mirrors and to be sure the back of the block is spotless clean and then if all of the planets align and the gods are feeling generous you may catch a glimpse. however that being said, when the engine is on the ground they are plain as day even with 200k worth of gunk and you will wonder why you didn't notice them before! last but not least, they may not be there! i have seen cars where all is right and no numbers, and my 69 CJ car has the number stamped on the headjust above the deck. i have always assumed it was a new guy and he just stamped it 1 inch too high (probably misunderstood the directions!). hawkrod
