I know that the DEA number is part of the engine numbers. Also what do you do for a VIN plate because I haven't looked a lot but I haven't seen a repro. Help! Thanks and GOD BLESS.

It may seem a bit extreme, but depending on the hoops you have to jump through to get a title problem straightened out.. You may look back and say, "Wow, I should have bought that wreck down the road with good paperwork, sure would have been less trouble"

Back in their day, when a different engine was installed, the number which appeared on the title was stamped on the distributor boss. | | |
