Default Engine serial number location

Hi
i am new to this forom since last night .
I don't own a corvette but pretty soon i'll be the owner of a complete rebuild 1991 TPI corvette engine .
When i say complete is except starter and alternator
To fit in a car

My problem is that i need the location of the serial number location on these engine
Cause the engine is presently in Florida and i live in Montreal Canada
They guy who's selling it as already packed it and wrapped it in transparent shrink plastic .
And he does not want to undo the whole thing .And the custom are needing that serial number to accept the transfer of th shipping to Canada. If somebody can help to locate the nummber will let him to go straight at it .
Later on i will need a way to splice my wiring to the Corvette wiring and ECM
Thank you

Just FYI: The little man waving the BS flag is used for saying that the post is BULL ****. Meaning not true, made up, exaggerated, etc.

If the engine has been rebuilt, the decking process often removes the stamped in numbers.

Your search led you to a 13 yr old post in the C4 corvette section. You likely won't find help much here with a C2 question. If you're inquiring about a 1967 vette engine, click on the C1 and C2 section (those 2 gens are combined here) and post your question there. Good luck and welcome to the Corvette Forum

One certainly doesn't EVER KNOW does one???

****I just assumed (in error I guess) that an NCRS flag waver wouldn't just link to the group BUT SPONSOR the individual!!!!
