For what it's worth, I have a few big block Corvette pads with the same HD rebuilder stamp and rebuild date. I've traced this builder to Kentuckey. He always stamped his initials and date of rebuild, probably for warranty reasons. All the engines I've seen this on have been Hi Performance big blocks.

I’m not an expert by any means but that mn stamp is definitely different than a
Couple of my original Mn blocks. The M forsure. Did they use different stamps throughout the year for these blocks ? Matt

Maybe Pete can come up with some pre-restoration pics to get an idea why the engine was removed.
 Then the question would be where is the transmission.

I think that HD could be from a local mechanic and racer from Louisville KY. I believe I have seen this stamp. Harold Dahl worked for VV Cooke Chevrolet and had a shop at home where he did a lot of hot rod and tuning work back in the day.Harold died in 2006.
