Engine Identification Mark Location???

[FastCougar]

I have a potential buyer for the CSi that would like a picture of the engine id tag, but I'm hunting around the engine bay (top side) and can't find any ID marks on the block itself. I have found some on the head, but where would find the engine ID plate/marks?

Look by the starter....

Thanks Don, is that from the under side of the car?

Nevermind, it's a bear to see as it's literally 2 inches from the firewall with the Upper Intake Manifold squarely in the way.

try tracing with paper and pencil

It's identifiable even with some rust/pitting in the last part of the VIN. The plus symbols threw me for a loop since they resembled 4's until I was able to wipe the area down with some WD-40 ... a small wire brush would be helpful.
