If the VIN starts 201xxxxx its from a Canadian built car

If its 20Pxxxxxx or any other letter after 20_ , its a USA built car

Thanks for the info! I think I will do a little more checking seeing as it has a possibility of being a rare Judge motor.
I certainly would rather sell it to someone who needs it for a resto project. I can use my 1972 455 2-bbl ambulance motor, and install aftermarket caps instead.
The stamped code above the YA is 0144160 so it looks like the Canadian code and I missed the first letter, must be under some paint, I will recheck next time I am at the shop.

Just rechecked the vin number stamped above the YA code on the passenger side front of the block and it is 0144160 and does not start with the letter 2 ??. The rest of the vin looks like it is a Canadian build.

I believe the number you listed is the Engine Unit Number, not the VIN. The vin is usually stamped vertically, down near the timing chain cover

Thanks Singleton, Yes the 0144160, I know now, is the unit number and I located a five digit stamped number beside the timing chain location so that would be the vin- 12662
