Re: Stamp pad thoughts/opinions???

I do not think the factory restamped 427 blocks with 2 bolt mains. The 427 corvette blocks are listed in the judging guide. This is the bible on that with all the reasearch done over the last 20+ years.

Hi Dan, I assume you were referring to my post . If you do some research on what I posted you may change your mind . Or you could attend one of Al Grenning's seminar's .

If it is an early 66 (Oct, Nov ) block it could be a factory grind out and re-stamp. A # of passenger car 2 bolt 427 blocks were torn down and re- configured for corvetts . They were filed out and re stamped .

Bill,

I have a early '66 big block (built 9/17/65).....since most of us may not be able to attend a Al Grennings lecture regarding "factory restamping" please enlight us on this subject.

This is information that I recieved from Al Grenning .

" Tonawanda Product Information Bulletin " of 9-21-65 , which cancelled L36 engine assembly 3855217 . The assigned suffix for that assembly was "IHR" . It is known that discontinued engine assemblies were torn down, re-dressed and had stamped information on pad surfaces removed . as a matter of normal production . Cylinder cases were subsequently reintroduced to production and could be built into any Chev L36 vehicle . New engine assembly information was then stamped over the initial ground off pad surface .
