Is the vin number on the engine the same as the cars VIN or is it only part? I can only read the last 5 or so digits.

Thanks, Bret

No. The numbers on the engine refer to the year the engine block was cast. The VIN refers to the car itself and indicates what engine was originally installed.

If the engine in the donor is the original engine the serial number of the engine is part of the VIN number. In my case, the engine serial number was PF101909 and that was part of the VIN number.
