I think they are going to test other motors for future comparisons. I dont believe they have access to the car in question..or it's owner at the moment. And most of these cars do not have verified owner history. If so, that would most likely be publicized in the ad. </div></div>

Correct, we will conduct tests on other motors, unless someone nearby wants to offer up their known restamp. Otherwise, I have a compromised, unusable 1969 dated GM block that we will test first as originally stamped, then grind the numbers down, test again, then restamp and test again. Basically, collecting &quot;signatures&quot; for each condition. He would prefer to test several blocks so I'm stopping by the local machine shop today for more subjects. It/they will then go to the scrapyard across the street.

i dont think any owners are going to let anyone go at their stamp pad with a torch. A torch sometimes will make a fake stamp disappear( numbers will fall off) and the original will show thru. Bare block on a stand

http://www.camaros.org/public/acidetch.txt is the acid procedure. It works, but results are not amazing.

About the car - it's the one that Phil looked at back in 2006.
Restamped pad and repro POP.

If there are 'new' docs. I would show them to Kurt S...if they are the same docs from 2006...Kurt has already spoken..enough said.

Ouch. Are the L89's going to go the way of the 69 Z? More restamps than originals?

I re-read the ad and the ad says
...'original invoice and protecto-plate'
...also says 'complete owner history'


seems rather straightforward.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
