I've seen this L78 Block and it is in great condition. Rich is a stand up guy and has nice stuff. Good luck with your sale Rich.

Above block states casting date of June 30 1969

Assembly date of June 11th with a CTY 1970 Turbo 400/L-78 code.

Please educate me!!!!!

Casting date is probably an 'E'.

It appears to be a very late built Nova Vin. # 10W374389

I didn't notice that - that is odd - the block is definately not a restamp - I am 100% sure there. Just looking at the pics on it that I took - It shows F not E and the pad is T061 the next letter is an I - could it be a 1969 cast block but the T061 on the pad be 6/1/70 ???? As Jerry states a late Nova vin appears so it could very well be that any possibility???

Its possible your block was at the bottom of the pile in Tonawanda. Cast in June 1969 and not used until June 11 1970. The VIN is a late 70 build. Schools out.
