FWIW, It's not the "W" that bothers me.

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.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: scuncio</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Wow. Pretty cool. The W in the VIN stamp looks a little off to me, but I'm not a Nova expert by any means. </div></div>

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

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.

Great question Jonesy, but I became aware of these type oddities/ discrepancies when this similar engine came up for sale on eBay. http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=14633.0
This may explain how a late vin can be assigned to and early assembled engine

Not real crazy about broach lines either.

I agree. The peak in the W is too low.
