They are usually one and the same, unless the engine has been replaced
(very likely over the years). The frame was stamped with the engine
number. Unless the body is off, it's difficult to get to. It is located
on top of the frame on the driver's side in the vicinity of the motor
mount. On my title in New Mexico, the engine number is used as the VIN.

FYI - if is hasn't been sanded away, the build date should be stamped on
the firewall on the driver's side, approximately 8-10 inches down from
the top of the gas tank.

=============================
It's on the left front frame rail, about halfway between the motor
mount and the battery box. It's also under the splash apron, if the
car is still together--a *lot* of work to get to.

*IF* you have the original engine, you also have the frame number.
They were the same when it left the factory.
