Re: L-72 Pics.
Shor,
You are going to encounter problems, and have questions as you go along. What better place to ask them, and with pictorials to go with the issue? Keep 'em comin'. JB

Re: L-72 Pics.
Shor, neat pics! I was under my car looking at the vin on the pad by the oil filter. This area is very rough and they did not get the numbers in very deep! You think they would want to put them on a machined area? why did they move the vin from the machined pad on the engine? Anyone know?

Re: L-72 Pics.
If I remember correctly, so the alternator did not have to be removed on the assembly line to get at the pad and stamp it. The engine plant impression was already there.

Re: L-72 Pics.
That makes sense. Were'nt the COPO chevelle vins stamped on the machined area? I looked at a Yenko Chevelle block a couple of years ago and I think the vin was on the machined area?

Re: L-72 Pics.
William, if you click on the picture again it enlarges by about10x. Tom, is your Yenko original drivetrain? What bolts do I use for the engine stand? Do I use the uper holes that the bellhousing bolted to?

Re: L-72 Pics.
I've seen '69 Chevelle 375HP 396's with the VIN on the pad, but have not seen a COPO 427 with one, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
I know up until early '69, all pads had the VIN for Camaros coming out of Norwood, then they started stamping by the filter. I don't think Van Nuys cars were ever stamped by the filter, but don't know for sure. JB
