Is the casting date Jan 1973? If so then the stamps might be 3M340 for 1973 Mound Road 340. The numbers usually aren't as messed up as the ones in your picture. Here is a picture of the stamping on a 1970 340 block that I have for sale.

The bottom pic is the odd one. But as posted 73 mound road amd you just need to look at the 10,000 day calendar for the assembly date.


What the vin on the block for the bottom pic?
