Doesn't look like the machinist had any alpha characters. Pretty sure that "Z" was created using the "7" stamp twice.
Pretty funny.

There shouldn't be any doubt that is an authentic DZ block...

I’m sure the machinist thought they were going above and beyond.

I haven't torn it apart yet. The block and the heads all match date wise for a late Jan build. It does have the correct crank in it looking at the shape of the end of it. Haven't looked for a vin yet. Larry

Would not be surprised to find out it did start life as a DZ motor.
Cast date? Interesting to see what the VIN is if it is legible.
