"Engine has been decked, stamp your own codes" as said in auction. What proof is there that this was a camaro copo engine? Could this be a corvette block with a cleaned pad? Roger

That sounds more like a everyday 425 hp 427 to me. I would think it would have more L-88 or ZL-1 parts on it but it doesn't. The date codes are about as close as you could come to a "COPO" and the intake is a 425 hp with too early of a date is it not?

sounds like a CE motor or one that has been decked so that it would have the "Correct broach marks" ????

OK so I'm a dummy.
Please explain broach marks https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Broach marks are the marks left on the block surface after it is machined. Back in the 60's it was done with a machine that left straight lines going from front to back. Machine shops usually surface a block and leave circular marks instead. Here is a pic to see the orig type marks, Hope I explained it. People faking cars quite often surface the block and then restamp it to make it #'s matching so it is important to examine the broach marks to make sure you are not getting a fake. https://www.yenko.net/attachments/83463-Block%20Pad.jpg
