Dennis, what's the VIN and suffix code on the block?

I would guess it's a nova block

Re: 1968 L78 396 - 375HP Engine
 

I believe that the front pad had been restamped and their is no vin on it. What is on it is T0628MQ but I don't believe it is an original stamp. That is my own opinion from what I have seen over the years. As far as the condition of the block it is in excellent condition.

Thanks Dennis.

I do have an original set of dimple rods with the pistons if somebody wanted to reuse them instead of the pistons and rods I'm offering with this block. You will just need to buy a set of rings for them.
