AAR engine help
During the late 70s a friend of mine used to drive what we all understand to be an AAR. It was painted baby blue without the strobe stripes but had the spoiler & special hood. It had all the blackouts. Engine had a 4 barrel instead of 6 pack with column shifted automatic. We knew nothing about these cars then as most of us were messing with Chevies.
Fast forward to today & he sold the car years ago but I just found out he kept the engine, power steering & sway bars. He didn't keep anything with the VIN. I'm sure there is a least a partial VIN on the engine. Could that number lead to a full VIN? Is there anything that would say this was a AAR engine? Thank you, Joe

'
Don't the stampings include the last 8 digits only?  Cool if car could be found but great for a real AAR or TA w/ Engine MIA.  ~ Pete .

MOPAR did not have division indicators for Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth like GM (1-Chevrolet, 2-Pontiac etc. ) on their engine/trans partial VIN stampings.
