Can't find VIN# on engine

you are checking the passenger side of the engine correct ?

If it has an F383 stamped on the ID pad then it was installed in a 1970 model year production line vehicle.

why are you looking for the vin ?
Yes I checked the passenger side, there are no numbers there. There is no ID pad I can find. I may not be looking in the right area. Zhandfull stated 68's have it near the bellhousing at 11 o'clock . . I haven't looked yet.

Top pad by the drivers head has an "F" which is 1970. That is there.

I was looking for any information I could find on this engine. What kind of car it came from would help. Would give a little history to it as I have nothing from previous owner.

Thanx, Rog
