How to confirm original block?

[OrigTXCobra]

I am looking at a 93 that looks to be VERY original, but I want to make sure the original drive train is in tact. Can anyone tell me where to look and if it will be the VIN number that I use to confirm that it was the original block? What about the tranny?

Also, any other issues I should look for or be concerned with?

Thanks for any help!

I have found the partial vin of my car on a pad at the top rear of the block on my 93R. I honestly don't think you're going to be able to read it unless the intake is off though.

As Mark said.

Also, the partial VIN is on the tranny/bellhousing area as well...

agree with Richard and Mark.

if i remember correctly, it is the last 6 digits of the vin that is on the block

But no way to see it without yanking the manifold...ok, thanks guys.
