But if it isn't the original block to the car its not really worth that kind of money in my opinion.

Partial VIN will be down on the rough casting area by oil filter.

It's good that you can read most of the vin. Most times, you can't read the vin down by the oil filter. I heard that some blocks weren't stamped with a vin, if this is true??

You sure about that second number being an 8? That would make this engine a bit too early for that VIN. Is it a 5 or 6?? Got pics??

Seems a lot of blocks the N is not as clear, the fonts probably wore a lot from repeated use at the Norwood plant.

I’ve seen a few blocks with no vin, last one was a 02 car
