I have a 78 Pace Car which on the engine pad has the engine code and the 18 and the last 6 of the vin but no S for the plant between the 18 and the last 6 of the vin.Did anyone ever see that?
Please see the attached picture, it is hard to see. The Engine Code as follows; V0407 which in line of the build date of the car. CUT; 1978 350 a/t L48 185. The vin stamp has the 18 then a space and then the last 6 of the vin.
The trans is fine, I also check out the following part number and date code; carb, alt, master cylinder, starter, distributor, wires are dated coded 1st qtr 78, and diff all is correct. I also have a ton of documentation that came along with the car.

When you say "The trans is fine", what exactly does that mean. What does the VIN stamp on the transmission look like?
I am going try to look closer, everything else is correct and even having the 18 space and the correct vin. The paint on the engine is also original.
Thanks
The same gang stamp was used for engine and trans. If the S is in the tranny stamp, it should also be in the engine stamp. That said, stranger things have happened.
