It's a mark of the Illuminati [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Actually the assemblers had a number of stamp codes used to denote over or undersized parts in the engine for later use. The maltese cross was (if I recall correctly) an indicator of a .001 undersized crankshaft bearings.

Just to clarify, when I was saying it is unlikely that it's your car's block I am referring to the block that you have who's &quot;vin which would be consistent with a warranty block&quot;. Warranty blocks had a blank engine VIN pad. Is that the 4/17/69 block or the other block you have?

(I didn't mean to raise doubt on your finding just to get more clarification of the info on the two blocks) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
