Those are original Stamping on the engine. It appears the same on many L78. Do a quick google search and you’ll see how similar they all are.

Umm, nice first post 427?

The guys here HAVE original cars they don't need to google a damn thing. So they will compare a known original from that plant and timeline and see.

Well that escalated quickly but I appreciate the post, need more people to step up and call these out for what they are not especially when someone has a nefarious agenda. Kudos.
