Thanks very much! I am only concerned in this particular case about the Tonawanda engine assembly stamp.

VIN stamp fonts depend on the assembly plant of the car that the engine was installed in, and the time frame during which that VIN was stamped at that assembly plant.

By contrast, Tonawanda engine assembly stamps were all done at Tonawanda, regardless of where the engine would end up getting installed in a car. So they "should" (with some documented exceptions) be all the same fonts on big blocks built within the same time frame.

I was sort of hoping that I had somehow missed a batch of round-topped 3's from Tonawanda during this time frame, because I really like the car this engine is in! But so far none have surfaced (here or in PM or in some other avenues I have been searching).

Thanks to everyone for the help!
