If the pad checks out OK, and the car represented by the VIN on the front pad still exists, that motor would be worth a considerable amount of money to the owner of the car.
So much so, if fact, that you could probably get enough to build a complete motor of your dreams, and still have money left over.

Just a thought.
Yea...the thing is that the only numbers on the VIN part that are legible are 71.
Now, conversely I would like to find an early big block car that has lost it's motor!
Kind of like finding a needle in a haystack! But then again, that's how I felt about finding this motor that has sat in the previous owner's shop for the last 20 years.

I gotta agree with Ed. That motor is worth a LOT of money to the guy who owns the car it belongs in (if it is still alive). You could sell that motor and buy a 572 crate motor and have enough left over money to buy your whole block beers, and then some. I would bet 1K that with some time you could discern what the VIN is off the pad. In fact, if you can shoot me some close up, hi res pics I would be happy to volunteer to help you. Lighting is critical with the pics. I would actually really enjoy trying to figure out this mystery with you if you would want the help. Re-uniting original motors with their cars is just cool....Let me know. ARA
