It's been restamped (or just stamped, in the case of a replacement block). Those are not factory-stamped numbers on the block.

I would have never guessed that it was a re stamp, but nothing surprises me any more. If you are still using this engine, I am going to be dismantling a 70 engine soon that is stuck. I will have all the parts you need for yours.

Yes....block is almost done at machine shop......just confused why someone would bother to try and restamp an olds 350.....maybe dealer did? Car was wrecked pretty early on drivers side...fender was replaced with 71 and was painted original gold nugget off car( gold over spray, over factory black inside) Any way is it normal to also be one digit off on the block stamp seq # to vin #?
And yes Kevin...planning on motor assembly around Christmas......bolts, bolts and more bolts.....I'll e-mail you a list
Thanks

On the other hand...
The build date of the car is the third week of Sept, and the date on the block (246th day of the year) would be a Sept 3 casting date, which is consistent with that build date. Of course, there were likely a LOT of 350 blocks cast in early Sept, including replacement blocks, but that's an interesting coincidence.

Thanks Everyone for your input Especially Joe, it sounds like u know ur sh Like Kevin said, we both would have assumed that it was an original motor, somebody yrs ago went to great efforts to strip all accessories and paint motor to match car(maroon) also there have been several signs that she may only have 69k original miles? Last registered 1988 in home state of Cali, all original red a/c Delco HD shocks, minimal wear on brake pedal, all front suspension cotter pins were folded back perfectly, no wear on what appeared to be original gold carpet....maybe not though, just got trans back and he said it was rebuilt at some point? ..............not that it really makes a difference, when I'm done she will have 0 miles....just enjoying the investigation Thanks again for your thoughts Eric
