No vin on engine block. There is an identification number on the right side of the engine below the head on a small flat pad.

OK thanks, but I thought they started putting partial vin's on blocks in the late 60's maybe 69?

Re: 454 vin location

They did!
It'll be below the first line on the pad. Last six digits of the vin.
Also look for a pad along side the oil pan that might have the same vin info.
