you can resurface the deck and save the stamp by using a special bridgeport machine, your shop should know about it. Basically it swirl cuts up until you get to the stamping area and then flat/straight cuts it from there. They did it on my 70 L78 and it came out perfect. Good luck

Thanks everyone. The builder is back in the shop this morning and I'll give him a call to discuss your suggestions. He agrees with me about leaving the stamping on the block. Thanks again.
