I am hoping someone can answer this question for me. I have a 1994 Corvette
VIN 1G1YY22P2R5107979 with 95K miles and I believe that the LT-1 motor is a transplant. I contacted all the previous owners and no one has any knowledge of the motor being replaced. Normally that is the end of the story, but the transmission has been completely painted bright red which is not common for GM but is indicative of a rebuild or replacement. I believe that between owners an undocumented “Flip” was done with the car and possibly the motor and transmission was changed.
The reason I think the motor was changed is because of the position of the Oil Stick Tube, it is a lot longer than what I have seen on other C-4 Vettes. I am hoping that someone can recognize the longer oil stick tube and identify what the motor came out of.
Yes I have endlessly looked for the motor stamped VIN numbers and can not find the them, all I was able to find were numbers stamped on the front right of the block, which were V0924WHF. So Please take a look at the picture and notice how much taller the oil stick tube is, Is it C-4 correct ???
Thanks Woody3882@aol.com
Looks to be a F body engine. WHF - I'm quite sure of but that's just from Internet sources so ............
Pull the dipstick and there should be a part# stamped on the stick. That might be considered maybe a confirmation.
Pull the stick for the transmission also and that should be identifiable also. The transmission codes on the case rail would ID only the source of the case and not the transmission internal BUT it might prove interesting.

I just pulled the oil dipstick and the part number is 10232187
the trans dipstick number is 10238801
I hope this helps figure something out,
Thanks
Engine dipstick does various Camaro, F'bird, Caprice etc
The trans dipstick I believe is actually a C4 early 4L60E
WVZR1, you are right, I contacted GM and after several telephone transfers I was advised that that oil dipstick was used on the 93-94 Camaro and Firebird. I was hoping that the motor was original, but that funny feeling in the bottom of the gut was right again.
Thanks again for the help
