Thanks for posting these pictures, Randy. I took pictures of the casting date and transmission tag, too.
The picture Randy posted is of a stencled 70W on the transmission. The tag has CW on it.
Has anyone seen the stenceled code on an M40 before? They are in perfect condition.

The picture with all the drips is of the transmission tunnel, I did no cleaning, it looks that good.

It’s interesting to note that the casting date of the block is D 14 70 and the engine was built the next day, April 15, 1970.

It was fun cleaning everything on Friday afternoon before the components are moved to the new sub frame. The VIN is clearly by the oil filter on this Norwwod car.

I’m happy with the work the shop is doing and we’re making efforts to make this repair as good as possible.

They are in fact fairly common. I ssee them on most low mileage original cars when I tear them down. This is an exact stamp copied from an original on Mark Mitchell's Chevelle.

I think the stamp on your trans would be 7CW, not 70W. Very cool!

I bet you're glad you kept the car now, eh?
