The VIN derivitive stamped on the pad on the engine block should match the consecutive unit number of the VIN of the vehicle.

The consecutive unit number is also on the trim tag on the driver's door hinge post.

The engine suffix codes for 82 are ZBA, ZBC, or ZBN. There were no optional engines; all were crossfire.

You are looking in the wrong area. The pad is located in front of the passenger side head:



Your's would be ZBA (this one is CMR) and the vin # under it.
