I know this has been asked many times, and there are even pictures on the site showing where the block is stamped to match with the VIN. I have great reason to believe I have the original 289 in my car, but today was one of many attempts with a mirror to find the VIN stamping somewhere on the block. I looked on the back passenger and driver side above the bellhousing, and I looked just behind the intake manifold. Those seem to be two different areas several of you on the site have found the VIN. - but I cannot find it.
My 289 came to me with Rousch heads and an Edlebrock intake (I have the original heads, carb and intake in a box and may switch back to the originals some day). Is it possible the block VIN is hidden by the heads or the intake?
I have looked everywhere the site has suggested, and cant seem to find it. Would like to prove the "numbers matching".
Thanks for any help with new ideas where to look. Casey
