Re: 1969 Z-28 Camaro - Please Help
The broach marks errrr the 36 grit sandpaper marks on the block deck are the giveaway here as to being restamped... People typically dont grind blocks like this... what happens is when a block is milled square at a machine shop they use a cuttting head that leaves radial marks on the block... originally they were broached... there is a thread on this site that shows how large a block broach is... (about the size of a locomotive is how someone described it).
They then cover up the radial marks with either a file or sanding then restamp the numbers they want... If you pulled a head it would in all likelyhood have radial machining marks on the decks where it doesn't show...

Mark thank you for your response, could you please educate me why you think these numbers are restamped? Again thank you for taking the time to assist me. [/ QUOTE ] Take a close look at James pic of a legit stamp and compare to yours. Notice the "9" and the "0"? Fonts are completely different. Also with respect to the broach marks on your block, not only are they too deep but they are not parallel. Some lines go to the left, some to the right, some straight. As Charley mentioned, a belt sander special....
