Hmm, that's an odd practice considering how easy it is to swap an engine. Well I still need to check the engine serial anyway. I'm not too worried; they don't check the VIN for an in-state title transfer here anyway. I don't know how hard it would be to get them to switch from the engine serial to the chassis serial, but I guess I could ask. But if my engine is already mismatched, I don't think it would be in my best interest to bring up the topic with the DMV.

Quick question:
Does anybody know how those door jamb ID tags are printed? What solvents can I safely use to clean the paint off of this without hurting it?
ID Tag What ever you do, I would make sure you try to preserve the original plates and don't touch the attaching rivets.
The stamped on letters and number on the bottom of the plate are the most important.
STD = might mean "Trim"
768 = might mean "Paint"

Vehicle serial number Plate is the is more important than the above plate.
It should some how make it onto your Title.
It is interesting that it has standard slot head screws as attaching fasteners.
