I finally chased him down today after many hours of internet searching to find he was the last posting on this trail. What a wonderful Mopar world we live in - you would never find Chevy people doing this!!!!! It sounded like he had no idea there was any connection to your car when he made that post?? Talk about finding something right in front of you. Unbelievable. And berrost has a whopping TWELVE posts and runs into this!! Did the block go from California to North Dakota? No hopefully back to California? Congratulations. Autoxcuda is spot on. I just threw the post out as a 'by the way...' comment. I was more than just a little shocked when berrost called last night and asked about the block. I bought it over 20 years ago from a guy in Billings, MT who now appears to be the second owner of the car berrost has. Unreal. It truly is a small world.

Is there a VIN sequence number up on top of the rear bell housing mounting flange? Yes,but nothing on the "pad"Vin shows as "8g190100.THANKS 5606126-IMG_1508.JPG (158 downloads) Last edited by hemi-itis; 11/15/09 11:03 AM. HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

So that IS the VIN sequence# you found.
