I think we've seen YENKO stamped aluminum big blocks here before, and IIRC, they have no additional value as opposed to a non-stamped aluminum big block

I’ve seen the later blocks with YENKO cast in raised letters, I hadn’t seen an early one stamped before. Easier to stamp one than add characters to the mold obviously

Charley Lillard found one of these blocks 15 years ago and he posted pictures of it here on Yenko.net.
The story was.
Don Yenko dident like ZL1 blocks so he had LockportCasting make 20 blocks for him.
Don Yenko used them in his Roadracing Corvettes and Camaros.
They were cast in 1969
