Decoding/Numbers / Part of suffix code/assembly date cut off under cylinder head....Possible?

« on: July 17, 2008, 04:40:18 AM »

I'm trying to verify authenticity of #'s for a friend on a 69 L78 Camaro....The suffix code/assembly date is partially under the cylinder head...IS the possible?

Was the deck stamped prior to cylinder head installation?

I thought it was done AFTER the engine was completely assembled which would make this block a restamp..Just wondering...Seller swears its a legit stamp..

Did 1969 396 tuxedo black cars recieve the semi-flat paint on the rear tailpan? I got one at work i'm finishing up, and figure i'd check before pulling the trigger..
