Someone else can answer that better than me. I will recount a story that Ryan B. & I worked on a bit. He acquired a 405 new, crate engine with a build VIN stamped on the engine. We "acquired" the current owners contact info & found out the ZR-1 has a numbers matching engine, WITH THE SAME VIN AS THE CRATE ENGINE. Through a few phone calls we surmised that the first engine was VIN stamped @ BG (like all engines), placed in the car, but on final inspection may have had finish blemishes & was removed & replaced with another engine that was VIN stamped with the same VIN. The removed engine was sent back to MM, then back to GM crate engine inventory, still with the original VIN intact.
So, things do happen that are not in accordance with the standard procedure.
Agreed..

Wow that is again more neat info. So there was a history of LT5s being pulled after the VIN deravation is stamped and placed back in inventory. So that could be an option.
