So I have noticed a couple of 350 blocks on ebay for sale that have application codes on the stamp pad but no VIN stamp. More specifically a 350 date coded November of 68 and has an application code of TIII4HA. Is this a warning sign that the block was re-stamped, or is it possible that no VIN was stamped on the block originally at the factory???

Sometimes decking seems to only remove the VIN. My engine is like this. The VIN may have been stamped more shallow than the assembly stamp.

My engine was built the same day and has the VIN on the pad.
