Hi, Curiosity has the best of me. Mind if I ask how you can relate a serial to a particular car? I ask because I've had a 70 RA3 block since the late 80's in my garage and would LOVE to know what car it came in. Thanks, Andy

What are the first 5 or so digits of the partial VIN stamping on the block?

I think he was asking Andy70RA3 what his RA III engine VIN is?





But, yes basically what the 1st few alphanumeric stampings are.
