Are you sure the trans and engine were always stamped with the same gang stamp? I have seen more then one example of legit vin stamps where the fonts (6's and 9's) on the block and transmission were different. Can this be explained?

There's the outside chance it could have a in-plant repair that required a new block or trans (and hence a VIN stamp on the new component). But these happened very infrequently.
They should match. I've seen lots that don't, cause one was stamped years later....
