1968 m21
I've always known the M21 in my 1968 Z/28 wasn't the original. It turns out to be from a 1968 Oldsmobile built in Lordstown. The partial vin is had to read. I know we have an orphan spot here, but I was wondering if there is a specific Olds site for the same. If I don't find the car, the transmission is going back into my car. Thank you, Joe

No question that "3" is an Oldsmobile.
The "V" is perplexing. I cannot find a Plant code for V. Sure it isn't an "M" stamped poorly? That would be for Lansing, MI. 442s and even H/O were built there in 1968.

Take a good close up pic from a few different angles, Joe. I've seen a picture highlight shadows and reliefs in situations like that and make it more visible.
That transmission I asked about was like that. I thought it had an F until I posted the pic on here and I could see it was a partial P.

 The trans is out & sitting on the floor. I've shined the light side to side to create shadows & top to bottom to do the same. It's been scratched in that area & is no longer 100% legible. I even took the shifter off since the VIN is on that side. I guess I was thinking that with knowing it's Olds & the last 6 might lead to an entire VIN. It most likely will return to my car once I reseal it....Joe

If it's a good trans and you're happy with, keep it until you find something closer to your build.
