Could be an engine shop rebuild stamp. The number on the invoice tying it to the owner of such block. My 68 SS has a similar stamp on its 350. That is what the previous owner figured it to be.

Probably some code from an engine rebuilding company. Someoone probably took it in as a core.

my 69 z28 has a similar code on it. it is a numbers matching motor. this shouldnt decrease the value of my car at all should it? would my z28 be equal in value to a numbers matching z28 without the code? is there anyway i can remove this code without disturbing the engine assembly stamp? any info would be great. thanks! tommy

Hi! I seem to tend to agree with engine shop ID'ing as The #'s are obviously individually stamped....probably just in/out shop ID'ing... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

does this decrease the value of a numbers matching car?
