so here is something i just noticed.  i was looking at my 78 and noticed that i have no vin number on the top case. it is blank and smooth and black like the rest of the engine. i havent seen this before or that the title matches the frame. i have heard that in production, the cb's came off 2 assy. lines, frame and motor. whats anybodies thoughts on this?

One of two things. First you have a factory replacement engine case, or it's an RC Engineering high performance case. Also you are right about the engines having a different number then the frame.

That is a question I am currently trying to answer. I have a set of cases that does not have any numbers myself, and am trying to find out what they are.
