1972 Engine block Pad Numbers
I am trying to find out what is the correct letter and numbering size (font, etc) to stamp the front pad on my engine block for a 1972 Corvette small block base engine. I realize it requires two sets of numbers, the smaller VIN numbers and the larger alpha characters for engine type, build date, and transmission. Does anyone sell a kit or rent them to do this? Any help would be really appreciated. I can be reached at cross065@hotmail.com.
Thanks - JD

Sorry but cannot answer your question, have no idea about the fonts or print size. Maybe some NCRS expert can chime in here.
I was just wonder why you wanted to restamp the block? For NCRS points, for personal pride, for resale value, or ???. If you car is a driver then there is no need for a restamp. But for a top value show car it could make a difference. So was just wondering.

Someone has decked the block. Block is an 010 block, but no pad numbers.
BTW, How do you know this is the original engine anyway? If it was the previous owner that rebuilt it how do you know he didn't replace the original with this one? 010 blocks are pretty common.

Mike thanks for your comments.
Now back to the original question I had:

There was a post not too long ago about a custom bike with a smallblock confiscated by police because the stamped ID on the block was gone. So after the block is decked whats is one supposed to do??? :confused:

I don't believe the story about the pad on the bike anyway, sounds like another internet urban legend. I'm sure the bike was impounded for some other reason, far more legitimate.
