All Vehicles after 1968 or so came with a serial # stamped into the block. Previous to that,starting in 1960, only hot ticket items, like Corvettes and then in 1962 passenger cars, and all high horsepower cars (frequently stolen), had the VIN stamped into the block. Most engines, big blocks included , after 1968 had the VIN stamped on the engine, many down on the oil filter boss, and it is very hard to see unless the engine is out of the vehicle. Different assembly plants varied as well, so some may stamp up in front of the head, on the flat pad beneath the alternator.
Dale from the Chevelle page has a very informative page, showing where to look for VIN #'s.
