Default 1974 engine pad stamp

i was looking for a picture of the engine pad from a 74 vette. prefferably an L48 base engine. when i rebuilt the engine i had the block decked so my numbers are completely gone (yes i now know this was stupid). the car went through ncrs judging today and i keep losing points for no stamp on the engine pad. obviously my last 5 digits (the vin code numbers) will have to match my own vin but i'm really hoping to see what and where the numbers should be and there location on the pad.

The VIN stamp points are pretty minimal for NCRS. How close to a flight car are you now?

Go to a jumkyard and look at the engines. Plently of examples for you to see in person. They are also not restamps so you know they are real.

You might just as well leave it blank as the stamp and broach marks would need to be done perfect to get points and this costs money as only the best can do it good enough to pass the test. Drive to the meet for extra points and enjoy the ride.
