Early on they were stamped on the TOP of the block near the distributor and TOP of the bell housing in about the same location. Has anyone ever seen a vehicle with the VIN stamped on top of the block, but on the side of the transmission housing instead of the top of it? Karma has no menu. You get served what you deserve.

No The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!

Not on the engine and trans but you only find the VON on the radiator support and the trunk drip rail. And if you don't know that you panic when you're checking out a '68 RR for instance and you're used to thinking the VIN should be on the support and drip rail DAMHIK Same goes for the engine stamping '68 versus '69

If I understand it correctly, in 1968, real early vehicles may not have any VIN stampings on the eng/transmissions. Then they began stamping them on the top of the bell housing mounting flanges(except for the 4 speeds) then as production progressed they were stamped on the passenger sides of both the engine and transmission. Is this correct? Karma has no menu. You get served what you deserve.

That is actually the engine serial number stamped when the engine assembly was completed. The partial VI was stamped later, right before it went into a car and it is stamped on the passenger side of the block, down low.
