    Engine stamping

    Hello Folks

    I notice on a 1975 coupe, L48 base motor car, that the VIN stamp on the engine pad starts with a 1. 15S408061. However the VIN # is 1Z37J5S408061. I have looked at both closely with a magnifier and the VIN has a J and the block has a 1. The car built date is C 12 = December 12, 1974. The block was stamped the 1st week of December. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Perfectly normal, they're all like that.

        The engine, frame, and transmission stamps are VIN derivitives.
