Tim--
The number plate that is rivetted to the block just alongside the head on the right side of the engine is the only number plate on the engine--that number (minus the M suffix)should match your car number which may be found in one of a few places depending on when your car was made but very likely in the driver's foot well. The number plate on the firewall is the batch/body number.
