There is an engine number on the block on driver's side up high. Diagram doesn't make clear exactly where it's located, perhaps the flywheel housing behind the starter.
I don't know engine number is directly related to VIN. They both have a serial number, but not sure they would match when new. In the example in the shop manual, the last 6 digits match up for VIN and engine no.
Manufacturer will know which engine no. went w/ original VIN, but I'm not sure anybody else has that info. I tried pretty hard to find out how to match engine and VIN when I was looking for a used engine for a Dodge Ram 1500 PU, and finally gave up.
good luck

thanks Texas.
I just got done installing a used engine in my car and the Salvage yards gave me the VIN# of the engine with a copy of Car Fax which shows only 39k. I am trying to make sure this is the same engine.
