Usually don't jump in on these, but yea, I agree. Pad stamp does look odd. MO stamp looks nothing like
mine.

Stamped 2 days prior to mine - and it does look like it has a different font compared to mine as well on some of the characters both alpha and numeric.. I didn't see a casting date for the block mentioned anywhere - did I miss it?

The car had a personal onsite inspection by an expert, and it was deemed ok.

FWIW He is usually at the Chicago show in November.
IIRC he has a nice LS5 Chevelle Conv, a 69 L78 Camaro vert, and an original black 65 Fuelie Roadster.
