if the VIN # is scratched off and the b18c5 is still their, is their any other markings, just the block, not the head...
any help would be great!

 

If the B18C5 stamp is still on the block, then it's a hype ARRRRR!

Edit: I don't know of any other markings, sorry

 

VIN scratched off?

a p73 will be stamped on top of the pistons on the stolen block....

 

Pretty much no way of telling. Some people take the VIN off when they sell their motors because they dont want their VIN floating around on some random guys car or posted all over the internet. Generally though, a missing VIN means its hot....but there is no real way of proving that.

 

The ITR and GSR blocks are identical. The pistons, crank, etc. are different. You had better get paperwork if the block has no VIN.

 

aussie type'rs b18c no 5 no 3 just b18c with a slash through the c

 

Sounds like a stolen block to me...I wouldn't buy it! That only makes thieves go and jack more stuff, because people like you are buying them

 

i would not touch that motor..walk away..no matter how cheap....unless his got paper work and you get it check out....

one reason i wouldnt pick it up is if it is stolen chp catches you with that you got some explain, but beyond that what if it a H-t member here stolen motor what if you were in opposite shoes....

well does it come with itr headers, or check the cams, or piston,manifold

Its just the block, no head (ie no cams, manifold, or header).

 

Check to see if the vin plate is on the back side of the block, right above the oil pan. Best of luck on recovering your parts.

Actually, there won't be much explaining. They just seize your car and put it in impound while they investigate it. when it comes up stolen, the remove the engine for you, and then you have to pay the fees to get your car back - without the motor.

never buy a motor without a VIN. that almost guarantees its stolen.

Actually now they will confiscate your vehichle and when they confirm that the motor is stolen, they will crush your car. They dont take the motor out anymore.
