440 m code block

Yes, the last 8 match, but I am being told that since it doesnt have entire vin , it ain't legit.. also the mount holes arent cenered?
WRONG! Early 69 cars,68 calendar year production, prior to the 69 1/2 intro of the a12 did have full vin code. Calender year 69 production only had last eight of vin. If the vin pad on your block has the last eight of your vin, you're gold. Unless, of course, it looks tampered with/restamped.
