It looks very good if it's prior to late December 1960 when they started adding the VIN number. If that's a 58 or 59 it's a good looking 230 hp 283 stamp. It wouldn't be a 60 because after December 1959, they would've had the Vin number on it and this one is in March so it would not be an early 60 with vin. Can't say about 56 or 57, never owned one, but I do know they did not have a VIN number on the engine

I'd say that's textbook perfect for the factory broach marks.
