any chance someone can get me a picture, or link me to an online photo of what the engine VIN pad is supposed to look like please.

i distinctly remember being able to read my 442s VIN pad with the hood up, and the motor being in the car

this one i cant read anything

are these numbers machned into that pad with say an engraver on a machine tool, or are they hand stamped with a punch set? i remember my 442 having deep easy to read numbers, and i am beginning to wonder if maybe they are hand stamped and just not stamped hard??

sorry for all the questions
this is what it boils down to for me
the car has a few problems, and its only saving grace for me to buy it is if it has the correct engine block.

thanks

Mike
