Of course the BIG problem with that is in the original message below-the owner
replaced the original 1494cc engine with a 1592cc engine.  If the car's serial
number were stamped on the block, then in the future, someone would order the
wrong parts.

Volkwagen handles their replacement engines/trannys in a similar manner.
They attach a  label to the block/case to ID the unit, but the serial number
spot is left blank. VWs intention is that the installing dealer stamp the
original serial number into the new casting, so future reference can be made
to the engine/trans number when needed.
