I'm pretty sure the block you have with no VIN is one I sold you. It's been maybe ten years ago.

The number spacing on the sequence stamp is too close. Just telltale signs for me.

Mike, yes you did sell me that block. At the time it was a fair deal.
Thanks again. It will be put to good use.

Van Nuys car

Mike's were probably Norwood cars
It happens once in a while
That was mine. I even put muriatic acid the pad with no luck of the vin surfacing. I wasn't able to locate a vin stamp on the trans either. Dates on everything lined up with the car.
