I split your post out into its own thread.

Full VIN is 124378N411381

That makes it show up with searches from search engines.

I have a 1968 MO-code engine block with the partial VIN 18N411381. Casting number is 3914678, casting date C278, and engine pad stamp is V0402MO. I am looking to reconnect this original, matching-numbers drivetrain component with the vehicle it belongs to.
If you are the current owner of this specific Z/28, please send me a private message (PM) through the forum with proof of ownership (such as a photo of the hidden VIN or trim tag) so we can discuss reuniting the block with the car.
