No idea what’s up with the 877 stamping.

Also strange that a ‘68 casting block would have the horizontal block reinforcement that came out for ‘69 blocks.


That looks like a 69 casting date to me .

All the other markings look good good to me except that 877 , not sure what's up with that , the circular marks appear to be factory machining .

The HP stamp being sideways is not surprising as it's a separate stamp used to make it .


running up my post count some more .
