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.

 

In what year did USDM motors start having VINs?

 

Its a motor. How can you tell if its legit or not then????

 

yes they have a vin... but you would have to call a police station or sherrif station... its a 7 digit it would go like this

d16z6
1234567

 

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...
