Transmission stamped number @ top of bellhousing matches car VIN As it should The engine should have the same number stamped on the top rear of the block adjacent to the oil sender on the lip of the pass side bell housing mating surface.



Thanks much for the info!
I looked at the bellhousing to block mating lip and there is no number there? I can see about 60 degrees each way down the back.
Would this possibly mean a warranty block?
The build and assemble date seem to match the early, full numbered speedo.
I am trying to verify a claim that this is a matching numbers motor.
Also, since there was no "HP" on the pad by the distributor, does this mean it is not a Magnum?
Thanks again!
