A car can Top Flight with a re-stamped block, but everything else needs to be very, very original and good condition.
When was the car judged?? In what NCRS event?? Possibly car was judged with a different block than the one shown.
You need to see the judging sheets.
FWIW: The engine pad is worth about 90 points total in NCRS judging. That represents a 2% deduction in the final score (100% - 2% = 98% remaining for the balance of judging.) A car can also earn back some points for mileage by driving to/from the show site.

A few months ago, I watched a car receive a top flight with an original corvette engine from another corvette. The numbers didn't match the car receiving the award.

It's unfortunate that many of the responses don't provide any insights as to authenticity of this engine pad.
The picture does not show any evidence of the broach marks. It may be that they are present, but not visible because the illumination is at the same angle as the camera. When photographing an engine pad, it helps if the lighting is off to the side so the broach marks are visible even if they are faint. But the real issue is the VIN derivative. If this car is a '67, the first letter should be a 7 - not an S as the picture shows. So, unless broach marks can be seen, there would be a total deduction for broach marks and for the stamping. Without knowing the car, I can't give an opinion on the engine assembly date.
Hope that helps!
