I think the 68s were stamped by hand. I bought a numbers motor/auto tranny 68 hemi charger 10 years ago. The drivetrain was out of the car, but untouched to the point of original plug wires. Car had been of the road since the 70s. I wiped the oil/grime off to check the numbers, the block only had 5 numerical digits, it was missing one of the middle numbers. Both tranny and motor numbers were really sloppy, I really got the impression they were done by hand and not machine like later years.
