Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
The VIN stamps don't match, the "0" is different, as well as the alignment.

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
Southside now that you have good pics its pretty clear the broach markings are fine back where the headgasket was, so it has not been decked, sure looks like it's nice and smooth and shiney where your stampings are, you can figure this out at this point right?

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
It had paint on the pad, scratches are from razor blade and it's shinny because I've wiped it 1000 times with different cleaners. There is a sleeve in #4 cyl. so it must have been lightly decked at one time, I still have .020 deck clearence with the Speed pro pistons that are in it.

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
I was of the understanding that when these things where stamped the folks doing it where not splicing atoms. Did they really put that much effort into getting them all lined up ect..? Maybe we are reading a bit much into it? To read my numbers on my L78 i had to clean and even sand a bit to see the whole numbers, so it has a bit of a shine to it.

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
 As you can see from this picture here.... you can see the faint outline of the PREVIOUS vin number starting under the fouth digit (4) and the letter "C". Just my 2 cents.

Re: 1970 L89 4-speed Nova????????
everyone knows there is sloppy stampings, if this was decked it would show a decking pattern front to back on the block, if it was original and the elements worked on it, it would be pitted with some broach pattern in it....this pad is polished with no machineing, right up to the original broaching pattern, you dont get a finish like that just removing paint, ...you can believe what you like.
throw a straight edge on the block your going to find that lip low.
