dont put it on your car...
if you happen to get pulled over and you have it on, theyll bust you pretty damn fast...

hondas + no vin = bad news...

unless the block/head is 97+, there isn't going to be a VIN # on it. pre 97, honda put the vin # on the tranny only in US cars. you can run the block's serial # thru local PD's. That's about it.

i recently bought a engine and called the chp and they told me that it is private info and they couldnt tell me if it was stolen or not .. i called a local police station they said the vin came up not stolen ... but i still wonder if the car was just recovered and the engine is stolen ... well i will see very soon .. the car is getting a chp vin inspection and i will just give them all the information of the guy i bought it from
