1973 mach 1 vin number

I recently purchased a 73 mach 1. It has a 351 V8. Can someone tell me where the vin is on the block so I can verify that the engine is original? It looks like a 351 cleveland.

Thanks, Robert

Ford uses date casting numbers only. usually above the starter. They don't match vin's w/blocks like GM and Chrysler. Look for a number starting with a D2AE. or something close to that.
