1970 L78 Nova SS owner needs feedback.

All I can find are pictures of what looks like when the motor was being torn down. Were the old pistons reused when the motor was rebuilt?

The pistons that are in the engine now were in the engine when I bought it.

trans stamp looks to have little cross lines in each letter and number like it was engraved

Your trans. pad stamp doesn't come across to me as being authentic.
Lots of abnormalities within it,the most obvious being the flat top number 3 used on the engine pad does not appear to be the same one used on the trans. pad.
They should match.

There have been a lot of comments regarding the transmission stampings. However, not many comments regarding the engine stamps which I'm sure you will all agree are the most critical and important. Any thoughts on the engine pad stampings?
Thanks

[Mr70]

That engine pad looks OK to me.

[Als 70 L78 Nova]

Thanks for your opinion on the engine pad mr70.

Me too

The flat top 3 on the VIN derivative looks questionable on the pad, I have only seen round tops

[Mr70]

I've seen both fonts used,but that wasn't my point.
They should both match eachother,regardless.
