400M Cleveland Engine Number
G'day from Australia. I am hoping someone can help me locate the engine number on our 400M we imported from the US. I can't see it anywhere and I guess its under the paint somewhere but don't want to go rubbing paint off uneccessarily.
Any help is appreciated.

There is no engine number. Beginning in 1948 (trucks-1949 cars), the entire vehicle is registered by its specific VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
Prior to 1948/49, vehicles were registered by their engine number, but if the engine was changed, the number on the registration no longer matched.
The VIN system was invented by Les Kelley, who was the largest used car dealer in the world, and the founder of Kelley Blue Books.
btw: There is no such thing as a 400M, it's just a 400.
