Broaches and stampings aside, it looks as if much more was decked off it may expose the waterpump bolt hole?.

-----Am always suspect of stampings that are just too straight. As well, if you look at the broaching all the broach-marks are not parallel, and that just cant be.......Bill S

The VIN is stramped into the block and the trans at the same time, so I checked some trans cases for the type of "3" that was used...

I found 2 Muncie main cases as examples...

P9P13(sept 13th 1968) 19S703966
P9H06B(june 6th 1969) 19S731445

Both examples used round top 3"s not flat top 3"s...

I have not seen a Corvette small VIN(1968 and later) use a flat top "3"...

Hope this helps... Crash

If you zoom in a little on the vin stamp, I believe I can see the original stamping just above it. Decked and restamped with just the shadow of the original stamp barely visible.
