Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
This looks to be a non original LT-1 engine. The block appears to be from a 70 Z since the stamp looks legit but with a 400 balancer I would guess the internals are based around an externally balanced 383 stroker (3.75" stroke vs 3.48" stroke) and a cast iron crank. I would also check the flywheel to verify the imbalance weight as well. If a VIN is found on the bellhousing flange my guess is that it will not match the car, and that is why the partial VIN was stamped on the pad to make it "Numbers Matching".
Oddly, the trim tag and rivets look original......
