I put a 5.0 from a 1991 Mustang in my 65 Shelby Cobra replica. State of MN will make me pay big bucks for a bond before titling it unless I can show them the engine #.
Can anyone tell me exactly where that is located?

I don't think the engines are stamped with the car VIN.

on the pass side, by where the starter would go is the only way to tell what year the block was made or at least what casting ford used.
