uh every single engine has the engine serial number stamped on the block. its not the actual vin but you can reference the serial number to the vin which is how you know if a car is a numbers matching vehicle.
A VIN number is a set of alphanumeric characters that identifies an individual vehicle through use of a standardized system set forth by the Department of Transportation and the International Organization for Standardization.
Simply put, a car's VIN number is like a human's DNA - it follows a specific code, and is entirely unique to each vehicle.
The VIN system represents the first attempt at standardizing automobile identification on a global level. A VIN consists of a combination of seventeen characters which identify the make, model and year of the vehicle, as well as more in-depth details such as engine type, vehicle restraint system and vehicle weight. While the most common application is found in passenger vehicles, VIN numbers are used for all road-going vehicles including trucks, trailers, busses and motorcycles.
Typically, VIN numbers can be found on the driver's side dash AS WELL AS ON THE ENGINE BLOCK, though it is not uncommon to find them in other places such as the passenger door frame, vehicle firewall or radiator support bracket.

OK but your statement was that there was a "Vin tag on the engine". That is why I asked where you came up with that one.
And thanks for posting that VIN info I had no idea what a VIN was. I just assumed that they through darts at a dart board at the end of the assembly line and that is how they got the VIN.

WHY? That is a general statement about what a VIN is and says nothing about the VIN being on the block of a 4V
whatever dude. point is at least some cars do have a vin stamped on the block and every car has a serial number that can be referenced to the vin including a 4.6 4v.
