The thing in this picture that everybody is missing is using correct dated parts on a clone is using up the supply of parts for the REAL cars. I not saying any thing against clones but why use them when anything would work JMO

But as far as a clone car goes, I wouldn't spend big $$$ looking for properly coded and dated parts, so long as visually they appear correct. Here a CE block or one from a passenger car seem equally appropriate to me, since neither should be passed off as the original engine in a clone, and both would be equally as easy to dress up like the MN that it isn't. I wouldn't worry about stampings or codes on a clone, I'd make sure it was a solid lifter 69 era 427 and go from there.
