That is what I thought Al because my 70 L78 Nova (a month behind that Car) has the EXACT same stamping, especially on the VIN, it is almost invisible on the top and deep on the bottom, wasn't a square hit at the factory on the VIN stamp

Allen, nice job outlining the story - I was losing track of who-had-what.

So, the current seller restamped the L34 block? Now the L34 owner's engine will need a restamp to bring the numbers back in line? What a shame

-------Jim,,,Those numbers were whacked with the head on of course, and because of that were often light on the up side. Just think about the guy with the hammer and how he might get the gang holder a little too close to the head, and this is what you get.........Bill S

No Marlin. The seller says he still has the orig engine in his shop.

Oh, that's good. So, there is an opportunity for both cars to get their original engines back - forget who owns what, reunite the engines!!
