Try looking on the drivers side of the trans.,behind the shift linkage protective rubber boot,where the trans. pan meets the trans. body.You should see a recessed machined pad that should have the exact same formated CON VIN as your engine.
Also inspect the bellhousing outer flange for same.

------Is it possible that the 19N is simply stamped deeper rather than larger and therefore look bigger. If you look at the #s as a whole they look like the letters get shallower towards the end of the #s, and therefore look smaller.......Bill S

I think he has the '7' highlighted wrong. The top of the '7' is lower than where he highlighted and then that makes the numbers line up pretty good. But it also lookslike that area was sanded down a little in the attempt to read the numbers and that actually made it worse to read.

Re: L78 VIN stamp photos
 

I'm glad Jeff noticed the "other" 7 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif I just couldn't see how a gang holder could let a number float that high above the others. Did you buy the car thinking it was the original motor without a VIN stamp on it?

BTW Denis, I gave your email to a fellow that I know tonight that owns a '69 Z was owned by the same guy that owned your old '67 Z with the "Luv 2" (or whatever it was) plate. He has a pic of his car with the same PA plate on it and would like to speak with the previous owner to get some history on the car.

Re: L78 VIN stamp photos
 

I bought the car because I liked the color.

I talked to your friend, gave him the seller's phone #. He's happy.

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif Then finding it has the original block is a huge bonus! Thanks for helping Robert out...he's a nice guy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: L78 VIN stamp photos
 

Jeff, neither ae restamps. I pulled both the engine and trans myself and both have different fonts. I think I may have to contact CRG on this one. I know everyone is thinking, how do you know they are original stampings? They are and I can prove it. Strange....
