Re: 70 l89 NOVA?
FWIW, It's not the "W" that bothers me.

Re: 70 l89 NOVA?
Would a real early car have a VIN derivative of 10W181xxx?
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.

The "peak" on the W looks a bit low compared to others I have seen including my 69 L78. |

Re: 70 l89 NOVA?
Is it me or do the broach marks look a little funny? I can't decide if they are original or not. See the original L78 Nova block stamp I had about 10 years ago.
