The ford FE book that I have says they started doing partial vin stamping on Ford engine blocks after 1968. I think Cobras and even Shelby Mustangs were exempt from this as a general rule. However, my engine came out of a police cruiser that was a Galaxie 500. I beleive that a Galaxie made after 1968 may have a VIN# on the engine block, but not before 1968. It is also my understanding that 11 or 17 digit VIN# were made internationally standard in 1968 and that is when they started showing up on engine blocks to prevent thefts.
