It's just above the bellhousing, the holes are just a reference point on where they are on the block.

Here is a shitty pic

VIN or part number? two very different things... like posted before, there are no VINS on motors for a long long time... only part numbers like in the pics z28/2002 posted

Sorry I misread the question

The part number is only going to tell what year the block is from, if it even breaks it down that far.

There is a the last 8 of the vin etched on the left rear of the block under the
head, you need amirror and a flashlight to see if its on the car, i work at a dealer trust me its there its hard to make it out but if you do post it and i can run a gm VIS and see what year it came from

the motor is out of a 99 camaro, the chp needs it to run a vin check to see if it is stolen before i can register my rock buggy for off road. the chp told me it was on the back of the motor i couldnt find it. i will look closer in that area.


ramair racer can you pull any more info out of that number?
