Wow! T0417JH, same engine build date as my 69 SS L-78 Camaro, but my build date was 04C. My original block was lost in the early 70's due to a dropped valve, I have been looking for another T0417JH block for awhile. GM must have assembled a batch of engines that day since yours was built several months after mine.

Can you post a close up of the P-O-P and engine stamp pad? Thanks,

Paul

P-O-P says T0417JH but block is stamped T0415JH, something is not right. The VIN stamp is out of focus so it cannot be verified. Here is a pic of my P-O-P for reference.
