'69 Chevelle SS396 "L78" project
 

Rough dude here. Not feeling good about the block stamp.

Obvious re-stamp in my opinion. My '69 Atlanta block has the vin stamped down by the oil filter.

Looks like part of the original stamp is still there. When they decked the block it didn't take off all of the original stamp.

Agree,two #1's and a #4 look visible.

My big question is why would you deck a block and not clean or do any other machining??

Maybe started on the machine work but ran out of money? Looks like it was dragged out of a swamp. Sad........

Eh can’t save em all .....
