vin number on motor? Can I check where my motor is from by running the vin number on the motor? PO says the motor is out of an 01' vette. Is there any way to verify?
Thanks gentlemen

Awsome mines a 98' aswell and previous owner swapped it for a 99 after blowing the motor, it looked clean too, he gave me paper work but i was always sketched out so i had to find out. Im sure you might have heard of this but it helped me out. Apparently all 98 LS1 motors Had the Ignition coils mounted to the valve covers one at a time upposed to one whole piece. the valve covers look alot differnt from a 99+ LS1 aswell.. I looked at one of my friends camaros which indeed is a 98 and i saw the difference right away. I even googled it for pictures and you can see the difference in both years.. and if yours is from an 01 corvette it shouldnt have the EGR hooked up onto the manifold..
Heres a link for the differences in each year... https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...years-ls1.html
I wasnt able to find it by vin or anything but i hope this stuff helps

looked up the # on the intake manifold, and apparently it's a 97-00 vette intake manifold
here's a pic of the motor for reference...
