Unstamped 270 Block

I have a 3955270 4-bolt BBC that appears to have never been stamped. Were any blocks sold without a stamp of any kind? I thought even a service block would have had a "CE" stamp. Appreciate the help.

"CE"-stamped blocks were supplied either as short-blocks or "fitted" blocks (pistons only). I've seen plenty of service bare blocks (no innards at all) with no pad stamp.

Interesting...thanks John!

broach lines still on the block?

Yes, and no evidence of a rotating cutter.
