Well atleast it's the stronger of the two haha.

One more question. Since there is no VIN on the transmission, does that indicate anything? It doesn't appear to have been removed, just never stamped.

VIN's weren't always stamped on the side of the transmission. It could be stamped on top (as shown in the attached picture), so you might want to look around.

Ah Good to know. I'll look as soon as I get home. Thank yall very much for the info! The car is 100% tore apart right now. I'm doing a complete resto. Since I have no plans of ever selling it and no good documentation on the car, I'm going to just build it the way I want it. Tic toc tac, center console with guages, ect. Any harm in doing this?

Jesse, I always say the same thing when asked this question. It's your car, so do what makes YOU happy. The only thing I ever ask (and this is only for cars with their original "born with" components), is that you save the parts you remove for the next guy. In your case though, this doesn't really apply since it appears that none of the original drive train remains.

Cook_dw,
I would gladly post the pics you've requested but from what I have read my transmission is a warranty replacement.  The numbers show it to be. Muncie M20 but a 69 model instead of a 68. Also there is no VIN stampings on it all. They don't appear to have been ground off, just never been stamped

A warranty (CT stamped) transmission would not have a VIN.

What would the "CT stamp" be? Is it in the same location as the vin would be?

Usually (not always) it'll be under the suffix code (see attached)

Usually is also stamped same on the gasket surface on the rear of the main case.

It normally is for CC cases, but I don't think it is for CT stamped complete units.

Thank you for the clarification-these details get confusing and it is good to understand what's right!
As a follow up- did GM keep records of which vehicles CE engines, CC cases, or CT transmissions ended up in?

Unfortunately no, not that I know if. Some dealerships may have done that, but chances of finding any documentation are very small.
