Can someone tell me please how many digits should be in the number on the block. ( Im looking to buy ) Owner said original block, but looks to be re stamped. How do i tell the difference.

I think there should be 2 sets of stampings on pad.One is engine
assembly stamping and other is VIN stamping. Small block should be
" V" then 4 numbers for month and day assem. then 3 letters for
engine type. The VIN should start with 1 then 2 then S then final
6 digits of cars VIN. Someone else can probably do a better job of
explaining but this may help You.
