Just for grits and shins I calculated what sort of deduction would be assessed if this car was entered in NCRS Flight judging, given that there is almost indisputable evidence that this cannot be the original engine.
A car starts with 4500 points total.
1) Deduct 350 points if the engine casting number is not correct, and stop judging.
Nope, it's the correct 0010 casting.
2) Deduct 175 points if the casting date is more than six months prior to the car assembly date, and stop judging. Car was assembled approx Feb 19. 1976. Engine block was cast Aug 20 1975. That's less than 6 months, by one day.
No deduct.
3) Assess the pad surface (38 points), the engine assembly code (25 points) and the VIN derivative (25 points) for being typical of factory production
Well, it appears that this is has original untouched pad, no problem with the 38 points for the surface. The engine assembly code is correct for a '76 L48 with auto so no deduct there. This leaves the VIN derivative which does not agree with the car's VIN.
Total deduct 25 points.
That's the same number of points that would be deducted if a burnt out light was noticed during the operations test. About 1/2 of 1% of the total score.

Mike! Makes deciphering the judging points easy.
