That's understandable to see VVS is charging a minimum fee now,regardless if it hits or not.
I feel fortunate to have been able to run so many cars through them for free in the past,which I imagine many others did too & thus why the fee now.

I think its fair to say that the 'W's are varied, so the issue with the L89 block in question is probably more about the 'C' and the broach marks....

No question in my mind, that's a restamp.
Those aren't broach marks, but sanding marks.
I have quite a few 70 WR VIN stamps, including several in this VIN range - it matches none.
