Hello again Rick, It's been a while but I have taken some more numbers of that LS6 I've been talking about. I took the driver side inner fender out and was able to get to the spot by oil filter for the vin. After wire brushing and a little sandblasting I was able to expose some of the numbers. I can clearly make out the last 3 digits and 3/4 of the 4th to last digit as well as partial digits of 5th,6th,and 7th. All numbers are a match to his vin. So having the last 4 readable and matching vin makes me believe that this is a true LS6. The only number that I can't seem to locate is the vin on the transmission. I've looked on the edge of tranny just above the pan behind the shift linkage and all around as much as I can see. However the casting number is 8623462 and the tag on the passenger side is 70 CY 2002 which I believe is tranny used with CRR block. I would like to be able to find vin on tranny so any help with location would be appreciated. I will private message you all the other numbers that I've taken of car. I think you will agree that all date codes and casting numbers that I've found all point to it being a real LS6. If you see any discrepancies please let me know. Sometime this summer I will get a chance to look for build sheet. Also this car has original fuel lines brake lines and all clips are still rust free and in tact. Please be on the lookout for my private message and hope these numbers are helpful in your registry. Thanks, Wayne

What does the trans ID tag show?

"the tag on the passenger side is 70 CY 2002 which I believe is tranny used with CRR block."
True..and 2002 is the serial number of the TH400.
Look for a 3 digit number stamped into the same tag above 2002 to determine the date assembled and if authentic to your Chevelle.

Wayne,
Thank you for offering to add to the registry. As far as the VIN on the transmission, you are looking in the right place already. I will say that more often then not, I do not find a VIN on automatics. I do not know why that is the case but those are my findings.

The fact that this cars history can be traced back to around 1974-1982 makes it likely that it is in fact the real deal. An (original) copy of the build sheet or other paperwork is really the only solid way to authenticate the car. Unfortunately, Flint cars rarely ever have sheets in them so don't expect one but look anyway.
I look forward to adding the information to the registry and thank you for your continued support.
Rick
