You would still be missing the Dash vin tag unless you know of someone who's making those!

and you would also be missing the title to the car...which he states is in CA??? So how would you have an instant LS6 with no VIN or Title?

Having looked at many 1970 Chevelles over the Years the general rule is Baltimore, Atlanta ,Kansas are top deck , but note Kansas cars are a larger 3/16 font and stamped upside down generaly. Balt cars have a unique twist there are quite a number of Feb built cars that display a 188 first three digits of the vin as the O and the B must have been damaged and they inserted the 88 into the gang holder during this period. The vin's are 1/8 for the other plants. I have inspected an April built , documented LS-6 that had the vin stamped on the deck and on the oil filter boss as well. You can get a lost title easily and the that makes that engine a home run to the rebody guys looking to recreate a real one . Make a note of the vin as this car may just be showing up again. Jim

Mark...as you know it's not legal but is easy enough to do here in Ontario where you can obtain title to something that's non-existant (like the five ZL1's deal)...then add a crookster-repop Vin and Cowl tag to match the docs...another 'matching numbers' LS6 is 'born again'! .

A few sting operations that make big headlines would slow'm down.

He's been doing that for Corvettes since the early 80's and everybody knows about it...so I don't think he's too worried about getting caught

Just to be clear...the person I am refering to that has been stamping VIN's, trim tags and build sheets for years is the guy in this ebay listing, not the guy selling the LS6 motor!!! Anyone who as been around Corvettes knows who I am talking about...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/68-69-70-...1QQcmdZViewItem

I've known the guy who is selling the motor for nearly 30 years and if he says it's the real deal, it's the real deal in my opinion! Sorry for any confusion I caused you locals

Am I wrong or is there a number missing from the LS6 engine stamping? My stamp reads, "TO417CRR",..for April 17th, but his stamp only has three numbers before the partial VIN.
