Re: 1970 L78 BLOCK 3969854
If stamped later it was a dam good job - I have pics I can e-mail anyone who would like to see. I be inclined to think this is one of those situations where a block sat around or as Kevin said - bottom of the pile. Nice block either way - it deserves to be built and ran again, it's been quiet for a long time. Also - June 1st not the 11th - brings it closer by 10 days

Re: 1970 L78 BLOCK 3969854
The 454 out of my 70 chevelle was cast in mid August 69 and the car was built the first week of May 70.It is her original engine.Almost 9 months that puppy was sitting before it got used. Heads , intake,water pump, etc are all within days of each other.
