What year is the block 66 or 68? I have seen older blocks stamped on pad, despite being over counter or race. Current one is a 62 block stamped B 440, and has Bryant stamped along rear ears. So who knows what builders were doing in the day.
No vin on your block either?

cast 8*5*68 - the VIN's been ground off - looks like it was a full 13-digit it also has the early mounting bosses on the front of the block any early 440 a-bodies use the 383 mounts? it is .040" over & had an old Sunrey/Eagle stroker crankshaft in it

Yellow paint peeking out all over, yellow was used for industrial engines for years. Edit - An online search for '440 industrial' lead to this page - https://www.440source.com/blockinfo.htm

What does the upside down A and the B mean on the pad, I forget?

the "A" "B' and "C" stampings on the top pad are in reference to the cylinder bores sizes as referenced by the painted "A" "B" "C" "D" on the skirt of the block as seen in A12's pics above, many small blocks have them stamped on the pan rail for each cylinder a factory 0.020" over block would be a rare occurrence & I have yet to find a picture of a "yellow" MOPAR industrial engine, got pics? what kind of acid could be used to wash the VIN surface in an attempt to find the missing VIN?
