74 Corvette question
Quick question.
Other than the "Z" in the VIN and serial numbers,anything else should I look at to verify it's a factory 454?
I've owned two L48s but no big block Vettes.

Hi bb,
Look here for the 2 engine stamps.
The engine assembly stamp which was done at the Tonawanda engine plant when the engine was assembled.
The VIN derivative which was done at St.Louis and indicates the vehicle the engine was first installed in.
Regards,
Alan
Here's an example from an earlier bb engine pad.
