but i gonna tell you the same thing most will, post pics of stamp pad, and casting numbers off the block and crank, you already have the oil pan off, so it shouldn't be a problem.  the  K198 i would think is to late for a 68 302 since the DZ was already available.

I know a guy that still uses it in all his the motors he builds, he has a good reputation, so he doesn't mess with success, i was at his shop last week, and saw a fresh short block with the valley painted

Dave, What Gary said. I remember reading in a HOT ROD mag back in the early 70's that had an article in it about prepping a block for faster oil flow back to the pan and those 4 drain back corners were smoothed out and screens were epoxied in to catch debris. If I remember correctly there was something about smoothing out the valley walls all they way around too. As a matter of fact the 350 LT1 spec engine in my Z right now has had the valley smoothed out. I'm assuming done by the previous owner.

yea, seem my share of motors with this done but never from the factory, seller believes motor my have been through the hands of Al Bartz or Traco at some point in its history, but since its been apart and has different heads and intake, i think its a moot point

Hey Dave, have you been to the Yenko site? Here is something you may be interested in if you haven't seen them yet.

It's probably 9N618420. That fits the date.

Thanks for your help Kurt,

here is a link to the pic of the stamp pad

really hard to read as it seems stamp runs off side of block

after closer inspection looks like first number is a 6 not a 5 as previously posted, would it be possible for a mod to change title? new here and dont know who the mods are. 

Thanks
Dave
