x2. Appears to be the same size & font number & letter stamps used for both the 'Tonawanda' stamping and the CON VIN stamping, which was not the case for 1969 Chevelles. And of course, no perfect restoration is complete without the "CAUTION - FAN" sticker

The block has been decked & restamped. The transmission VIN stamp looks ok, the deck VIN stamp should match that as they were done using the same gang stamp.
