There are some threads on here about this car. Some claims being made that it was one those small block cars that got big blocks hoods from the factory.

So this car was hyped as leaving the factory with a big block hood, but now it has disappeared. I guess that story didn't stand the test of time. And Wow, what a great stamp, I don't know squat about NCRS judging, but it surely didn't get many points for that pad....

If you look close under the 12345. Youll see faint signs of possibly the original stamp? Unless ive had too much sun, i think its been sort of decked at some point? However i think the whole stamp pad thing is a total joke anyway. Who cares. I mean really in the grand scope of life and the enjoyment of a car, WHO CARES? Its freaking EBay.... Not exactly Sothebys. So anything is possible as far as what was what. You can buy a block and have it stamped anything you want, and trust me MANY cars have had that done. Some of the stampers are good. REEEAL good. (Flo from Progressive) But yea...my sister could fake a stamp pad better than that. So ...not sure if its a joke or just a total moron with some numbered punches but thats a dandy for sure.

He answered me and it makes sense now.
OkGood question and you're the first to ask it. Engine war rebuilt in the 1970's under the first owner and nobody cared about the NCRS back then (probably because it didn't exist) and so no care was taken to insure that the engine stamp wasn't lost in the block preparation process. I've had umpteen NCRS Master Judges look at it, including the national chair himself and we all decided that it was best to leave as is since you can see the shadow of the 1234 (last 4 of the vin) but it did warrant a points deduct.
Numbers on the heads are correct to the Vin (by range of time not numerical match as heads aren't stamped with vin# so I was satisfied enough to purchase the car back in 2007.

Stamp pads are a really big deal if you want provenance.
If Corvettes are just a fun hobby for you then it's no big deal. If you're a serious collector the stamp pad is a huge deal.
There are several ways to enjoy Corvette. Just take a look at all the resto rods.
NCRS and BG paperwork add a lot of value to any Corvette. Whether that value is important to you is a whole different question.
