You might have an over the counter block. My warranty block still had the markings on the pad but none on the vin pad, it also has a blue plate attached to the pass. side freeze plug boss with a steel rivet.



Do you realize that anyone counter walk up to the parts counter and PURCHASE the short block assembly that you are calling a warranty block? It would be stamped the same way AND have that little blue tag ...
