Have a 69' Camaro X-77 with an engine with a "DZ" engine code and casting number 3956618 but cannot find a partial vin anywhere. Were all 69' 302 engines stamped with a partial vin? If not, how can you tell if it is the original engine?

I finally see what I'm looking at. 
The pad was decked and they stopped the cutter right after it took off the corner of the pad stamp.
I'm pretty sure it's the original stamp that's left.
Yes, it was restored then.
They had no pic of the partial VIN. The only pic that was better was their tag picture.

My friend advised the 19N6 is there but not visible in his photo. If you look carefully to the left of the box he drew on the picture you can see the 6 and part of the n. He had trouble getting an angle that would show it all.
I do see something there now that You mention it....:hurray:
Looks like You have the real deal !! Congrats !!!
I used lacquer thinner and kept soaking that area where the VIN is in order to get a real goos pic of the stamping.
If you ever pull the engine and trans. it would be nice to get better pics and compare the two stamps as they should be identical.....as they were stamped at the same time by the same stamp.

PLEASE be careful making blanket statements such as ALL were VIN stamped. The instructions were to stamp everyone however people make mistakes, and of all mistakes to make when dealing with engines... stamping the damn thing is lowest on list of concerns.
If this engine has no VIN stamp and is legit, that will be at least 4 late march to early april DZ's without VIN's...

MOST 69 DZ engines SHOULD have a partial VIN stamp.
Rear axle assembled on April 1, and date on POP for car is April 10. Doesn't that seem awful close?
