Be careful Bart it's probably a restamped block. A previous seller claiming the block was decked should of been when the red flag when up.

To answer your questions specifically, no the 2 numbers should be identical. The number on Portect-O-Plate is actually taken from the engine stamp.

Hylton,
Thank You, If the numbers are off by one didget could that be a legit mistake? (At the factory)What are the odds that someone found a block that was 4 days later. I don't belive it's a restamp, why would they restamp the wrong #'s when the Protect-0-Plate has been with the car the whole time. 323 on POP VS.327 on the block.

I would not say a number could be off by one. More likely that there would be a typo. The guy who stamped the Protect-O-Plate might mistake the number "8" for the number"0". The same applies to the tranny stamp and the rear-end stamp which should also be on your Protect-O-Plate.

The guy that restamped the replacement block should of been wearing his reading glasses.
