A car or a motor? A VIN is a Vehicle Identification Number, so no, a motor would not have it. If he says his car doesn't, then there's something wrong.

The number under the stamp is the vin for motors under 99. 99 and up have vin plates right on the motor and trans.

i doubt you'll find many "stolen" d series engines. It's not really worth their time. Out of all my friends cars who've gotten stolen. Not one had their d-series taken.

Is the plate on the 99+ motors an actual VIN number, or is it just a serial number on a plate instead of marked on the block? I've never bothered to check mine...
