I was told this 383 HP block came from a 69 Road Runner. Wondering if it is a waranty block as there is an odd number in place of the VIN???? E383 HP -> 9F140705 found at VIN location -> Number pad on driver side of block has a 9 -> Casting number ->

NO 383HP '69 C-bodies it is/was a Y39 "99" paint code Road Runner RM2?H9E140705 built February '69 in LA So was it normal for LA to omit the first six characters of the VIN? My St. Louis built Road Runner has the complete VIN on the block.

My St. Louis built Road Runner has the complete VIN on the block. Yes, but it is really just the first five characters. For example, for my 70 Cuda the block, trans, and body stamps are all missing the BS23N portion of the VIN.

I see 9F not 9E?
Can you get a more straight on photo? Pic is tagged as 9F, possible mis-stamp? "9F140705 found at VIN location ->"

Possible clue? From the same person I purchased this block from I also bought this 69 Road Runner hood in Bahama Yellow. Perhaps from the same car? -> quite probable! Dan, earlier in the thread, before the hood was mentioned, you deduced from a partial VIN the car "is/was a Y39 "99" paint code"I'm curious what your process was for coming to this conclusion? Thanks!

the 2,000+ special order paint (Bahama yellow, rallye green, Omaha orange, corporate blue) '69 Road Runners from LA were assigned VINs in batches
RM23H9E140704 is a restored "Omaha orange" Road Runner Wow! That is amazing. Thanks for weighing in on this.
