Engine Vin Number
Hey Guys,
Was hoping someone could help me identify the engine in my 1979 Corvette as I seem to be drawing a blank.
The code from the passenger side front of the engine is:
V0929ZAB
19S406964
Any help is appreciated. Also if you could shoot me a link of where you received your info from for future reference that would be great.

Hi s,
ZAB decodes as a Flint built 79 Corvette 350/195 with auto transmission.
I use the chart at nastyz28.com
6954 is the vin sequence of the car it was installed in originally
Regards,
Alan

Like Alan said V is for Flint. Engine built Sept 29th. ZAB is for L48 automatic 350/195, early production. Looks like they changed the suffix to ZAH later on.

Does your car have a trim tag build date after 9/29 and is it a auto L48?
