Default Does anyone recognize this remanufactured engine tag?

Just bought a 350 "crate" motor for $75. Numbers show it is a 71 block. Out of curiosity I would like to know who remanufactured it. It also has a tag on a freeze plug that says "guarantee void if removed". 2 bolt main by the way.

Most likely a rebuilders tag. The freeze plug may have an overheat indicator. This was in case you got the motor hot and tried to get it repaired under the rebuilders warranty.

The rebuilders tag could be from anywhere.

The one on the freeze plug is an over heat indicator. The center will melt like wax when it gets too hot.

I don't have an answer for you but I'm interested if anyone else does....I have the same tags on the block and freeze plugs. I'll see if I can get some pics tonight and post them as well.
