Default Re: block stamp

It's not unusual to see an engine rebuilder stamp their coded information on a block for warranty purposes. A number of Corvette engines have surfaced with a stamp showing HD and a date. Apparently there was an engine rebuilder in Kentucky that had these initials. He'd stamp a date on the engine for warranty purposes behind his initials. It is a good, obvious place to stamp.
