VINs on engine/trans Federal requiement, 1967...
By Dan Davis - 02/16/2002 2:41:02 AM; IP 203.151.127.33
...model year and up. Earlier HiPo engines (i.e., 289 HiPo) had the stampings as well before 1967. The format was first two and last six digits of the VIN. Example: 0H37N201424 will have 0H201424 stamped on the block and trans.

I too have seen VIN stampings in error on the head (on a 351C) instead of the block.

Correct casting numbers but incorrect or missing (i.e., service replacement block) VIN stamping do not a "numbers matching" vehicle make! The VIN stamping on the block & trans matching the vehicle VIN make a vehicle "numbers matching."

Cheers,
Dan
