With your car being a very early built car for 1970, I can see a 69 engine in it but not a 68 engine..
I am truckless..

The car was built late, the Mylar month is after the scheduled production date on the fender tag.
The other way around - car scheduled for September '69 but built in August '69.

"Re-stamped"...what does that mean? Someone simply faked a stamp of the VIN on the engine block? If that's the case someone's going to hell...I was having such a great day...
The factory did not stamp the full VIN on that pad in 1970 nor does the factory stamp font look like that. Someone did that to that block and they were not at the plant that assembled that car when it was done.
Whats on the ID pad up top , passenger side of the engine behind the alternator, in front of the head?
