Missing ID stamp

That picture is correct for big blocks.

You really couldn't have narrowed it down a whole lot if the information was still on the pad anyway, as they didn't have the partial VIN above the pan rail until some time in 68 I believe. So, the only thing you will have to go on is whatever the cast in date code says.

Yeah, I was just more curious. At least it provides more info on what’s been done to this motor with out having to tear it down.
