I would normally assume this engine is in car 124379L626897, correct? Only problem is the last LA built Camaro should have VIN sequence 531163.

My gut feeling is:

Engine and trans stamped by the same "gang held" set of numbers. The first "6" is high in both, and the last "7" looks slightly bigger, but the two stampings definitely look consistent. Could this just have been a new guy (or hungover guy or ___________ [fill in the blank] guy) on the line that just totally screwed up the stamping. I have heard of numbers that were one digit off from the actual car, but nothing this screwed up.

Does the car VIN have any correlation to these stampings?

Charley, is this a test to see what kind of assinine explanations we can come up with?
