Most FEs do not have any VIN information stamped onto them.
In the later '60s, some FEs, particularly performance FEs, could be found with partial VIN numbers stamped on the rear of the block and top of the tranny.
All three of my 428PI engines were stamped, as was my Cyclone CJ motor of 1969. My Fairlane Cobra 428 was not stamped, nore was the 428 which came in my Q-code 1967 LTD.
Common stamping locations are at the rear of the block near the drivers side deck surface, and I also hear it's sometimes stapmed instead at the center rear of the block near the bellhousing.
I believe all FE blocks got some cryptic date code stampings at the front face of the block to indicate when they were machined, but these tend not to be very noticeable unless you look carefully.
