Chevy 454 partial vin identification

I was not able to find a 'partial vin' reference site... That mortec link gives a reference for block castings (used for various vehicles, for a range of years). I think the 'partial vin' gives the more specific information when and where it was made and maybe which vehicle it was for???

I'm not sure where the partial VIN is on a Big Block Chebbie but it contains the GM division(1=Chebbie in this case), the factory the truck was made at, and then the six VIN sequence digits. If this doesnt match the VIN on the dash...then its not the original engine.

SBC has the partial VIN on a machine pad just behind the alternator. Maybe BBC is the same?

What you are wanting to know is found in those three letters..."TRH" Call any good Chevy dealer parts dept. and they should be able to look it up.
