Re: 1970 Z28 VIN ON BLOCK
On 70's Z28 the VIN# was only stamped by the Oil Filter, engine code was on the deck.And yes that would count as original.

Re: 1970 Z28 VIN ON BLOCK
Rick:
Actually, all Van Nuys cars appear to have been VIN stamped on the pad. Also, I have seen some Norwood cars that are pad stamped. I had one 1972 that's pad stamped and was just resold on ebay this week. I don't think there are any absolutes with these cars. JMHO, Ed

Re: 1970 Z28 VIN ON BLOCK
I had a 1968 427/335 Corvette with the original decked block. Heated the pad up with a torch and the #s came out in relief. I know it's risky, but the metal is actually compressed when it's stamped, and heating it up "relaxes" the compression. The #s actually are raised when it works.

Re: 1970 Z28 VIN ON BLOCK
Why would it be "50/50" if its stamped by the oil filter? If the Vin# is there and its correct, matches paperwork ect.. then i would think thats enough.

For example, when you try the raise the #s with heat, you have only one chance to do it as the cast iron molecules change from their original stamped, stressed state to a de-stressed position. The numbers may only be visible for a very brief amount of time for you to capture them with a camera. And if you dont know how to take a macro photograph properly you may have lost your one and only chance.
