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 .


Could "877" be the first number on the second row from the top on a Lynch Road fender tag that identifies the engine (like on an A12 tag of 925, 926 ) or on this tag for a '69 383 Super Bee of 899??

Anyone ever see a fender tag (or broadcast sheet) with an 877 engine code?


I've never seen a Broadcast sheet engine code stamped on the ID pad .

One thing to note the engine is not painted the correct color for a 69 HP build , the 877 might be a number stamped by the shop that rebuilt it ?

running up my post count some more .
