What I'm saying is with early cars especially prior to 1/68 no stampings of engine/trans is not uncommon..





I know what you mean Wild, I've seen that notion prepetuated here on Moparts many times myself. Problem is that there are few who back it up with facts, I haven't seen a single example of an original (unstamped factory installed 68 engine) posted on Moparts, just stories of such.

I think allot of it boils down to wishful thinking on the parts of some people whom own cars with replacment engines and would rather it be deemed "acceptable as common place" so they can slide by with a "numbers matching" car regardless of the engine being swapped out in the past. If anyone is reading this and has such an original example please post it and all the supportive evidence/pics etc. I'm as eager to learn new things as anyone.
