Opinions on pad and trans stamp???

The engine is an obvious restamp IMO.

I am wondering why there is a ridge/rise in the pad area near the head. Is this some known casting normality? Or is it because it was cut down and they didn't get it set correctly?

What's the McJerry Report mentioned in the previous thread note of engine stampings/originality?

----The broach marks look OK though. If so, I think your assumption of a step is really farfetched, though not, I guess, impossible. Is it possible that that the edge we see is the edge of the head gasket???....Bill S

Doesn’t it look like some shadow numbers,especially number 6 above the stamped vin?
