The VIN on the dash will tell you everything you need to know. Engines dont have VIN's. They have casting numbers. Such as "Block Casting Number" or a "Head Casting Number" or a certain/specialized part number. But on old cars this maybe different and I stand corrected.

This is correct, even for old cars. The block or head casting numbers will tell you the "type" of vehicle the engine was designed for but not the specific VIN is was installed in.
Some blocks have numbers for destined for "crate" which means it was not installed in a vehicle, but used as a replacement motor. For US engines, the block number will usually narrow your search down to a 5-10 year block and the type, such as truck or car. Special vehicles, like Corvettes and such, will have specific numbers (because they used aluminum and high performance parts) so the search will narrow down further.

Get under the engine bay and uses a flashlight to find the VIN. The VIN stamp will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but will be mounted somewhere on the engine block. Some older vehicles will contain a serial number instead of a VIN. Match up the VIN from the engine block to the VIN on the vehicle. If the engine block has a serial number instead of a VIN then contact the manufacture dealer to see what serial number the original engine block had. .
