I am more versed in Camaro engine stampings but I dont like the "broach marks".
Looks like they were made up by someone using coarse grit sandpaper. </div></div>
Great question Jonesy, but I became aware of these type oddities/ discrepancies when this similar engine came up for sale on eBay.

This may explain how a late vin can be assigned to and early assembled engine
Not real crazy about broach lines either.
