I have looked for the VIN number on the trans and can't find it. It may be because the exhaust is in the way. Is it directly above the pan?
Thanks, Jason |

Jason,
Try looking where the trans and block bolt up,from the top side and on the trans of course. The vin sould be on the drivers side and you can see it from the top back side of the engine bay, towards the fire wall. |

Yes.
And the exhaust is exactly parallel to it.You must get your glasses on and a good light source. |

On a TH400 the number is stamped just above the pan and between the two drivers side pan bolts in between two small reinforcing ribs . It is very hard to see if the exhaust is still there. I had to use a light and a mirror to read mine as the lh headpipe runs parallel with it. Powerglides and TH350 transmissions usually have it stamped on the bellhousing portion next to the block on the drivers side, check those places just to see if it is stamped there by mistake. If no number can be found then it may be a replacement trans.....................RatPack................. ...

Thanks guys. I will check it out and let you know what I find. It sounds like I may have been looking in completely the wrong place.

I looked and could not see it in either location. I then decided to disconnect the exhaust and still could not find it. I'm almost positive the trans is right since the car has been sitting for a long time and has the right tag on it. Any other ideas? Did all turbo 400's have VINs?

Does anyone have any info on Bill Allen or Branine Chevrolet? Are either of them still around? Do they have any documents?
Thanks, Jason |
