I've just gotten a RWC for my EA, and now I've gotta book it in to get transferred and registered. I need to get the engine number before I can even book it in though. It's got an EL 4.0L. Where would I find the engine number? I've got the VIN number.

if the car passes you get the green slip, but only the bottom of it, the top part which stays with the repairer has the VIN and engine number etc... on it

We need to see the whole thing at VicRoads to re-register a car.

Its on the passenger shock tower on my EA.
its like an unpainted rectangle, although mines covered in crap and not readable.
