VIN designation of engine
I know the 17 digit VIN didn't start until 1980 or 81. What year did GM start incorporating the engine designation (not just 6 cyl vs. 8 cyl) in the VIN? Did that start before the 17 digit VIN?
Thanks for any help. Lynn

Re: VIN designation of engine
Wow. Quite a spread. For some reason I was thinking it was the early 70's. Pete, where did you get your info?
Thanks. Lynn

Re: VIN designation of engine
Just off the top of my head I know 1972 Chevelle and ElCamino had the engine designation in the VIN. 1971 and earlier did not.
