Instead of IP it is stamped 1P. I would check with the Vette guys to see if 1 was ever being used for a I.

I have a block here that is an LS4 Impala block that has the same type of grind down and restamp, with what looks to be correct Tonawanda characters.
I mean who would restamp a block and make it an Impala 345 horse motor?
I've seen others also that I believe are factory restamps.

Far as the 1P stamping, who knows, but like Charley says, check with the Vette guys.
