What's the story?

 

make sure it's the correct vin... cuz carfax isnt letting me carfax it

 

just browsing HT and saw someone doing a b18c5 swap and the VIN was right there close up on the tranny. just kinda weary of c5 swaps, where did that b18c5 come from?

i dont understand... if you can get me the correct motor vin i can run the number... i've done it before

 

The VIN is one digit too long. Check it again.

 

I thought that the engine vin doesn't coinside with the vin located on the dash? I guess regardless if you can find out if it's good or not...no worries then.

The engine serial number (right below the engine code) doesn't coincide with the VIN, however there is a VIN plate both on the front of the tranny, and at the bottom front of the engine.

 

b18c5_ek shot me his motor vin and it came up with a wrecked in 98 r... hehe

This is not true. If you go to an Acura dealer and ask them to run your VIN they will be able to tell you the blocks serial number.

Yes, both are recorded. They have nothing to do with each other though. For example, the block number is recorded to the VIN, however you can not do a lookup from the block number itself. They don't share a sequence number or anything else, it's just a field that's filled out in the VIN's history record.

You know that quote has been thrown around here for years, I never thought people would actually take it seriously and run VIN's on every engine they find outside the R forum
