RB Pad Stamping

Does this type of stamping mean that it was a warranty replacement? Couldn't find a VIN on the block.

Water tested. I would suspect it's a Warranty block. Is there a tag on the passenger side by the frost plugs, or at least evidence of the block being drilled for a driven spline rivet to hold on a tag?

What year is the car ? Last 8 of the Vin is stamped on the left oil pan rail on 68 and above. Not below 68.

I will have to check next time I go to my friend's shop. We're reinstalling the numbers matching engine/trans for a customer and he had this one in there for a number of years. Thanks for the info.

This 440 was used with a 6 pack setup by the original owner for years, but I'm helping reinstall the original rebuilt engine back into a 68 Coronet R/T (vin on top rear of block like mine). I think this block has a 4/70 casting date but couldn't find a vin stamping anywhere.

68 is up on the bell housing top by the oil sending unit, not on the pan rail. And isn’t it on the right side above the oil pan?
