Hi, normally i wouldn't argue the point but knowing the source who purchased the motor, I doubt that is the engine. He was a huge classic muscle car collector and had the resources to buy whatever he wanted. He was very picky about what filled his engine compartments and also the space in his hangar. It is definitely a big block; I remember him saying something about it being a 427. My father in law (the purchaser) told me he purchased it for close to 20k, and I believe it was being stored in a crate as a replacement motor for his 1966 Corvette. It was purchased at least 10 years ago but I don't have a solid date range beyond that. Should have provided this info in the first place! Thanks for commenting; hope this additional info will help.

Also, the stamp is right above the timing cover to the right of the alternator if I am looking at the the front of the engine.
