I have a standard bore 340 block, with a casting date of 6-20-67. There is no vin pad on the block. I also have a standard bore 383 block, with a casting date of 3-18-68, that also does not have a vin pad. If you are interested in the blocks, contact me at TRKPSHR1@aol.com. Blocks are located in western Oklahoma. Thanks, Dale.
