1970 LS6 El Camino on BaT
 

Love the colors and look. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...-el-camino-41/

Opinions on pad and trans stamp???

The engine is an obvious restamp IMO.

That was my insinuation also! Thanks

Talked about this one earlier this year:

Pad Stamp
 

I am wondering why there is a ridge/rise in the pad area near the head. Is this some known casting normality? Or is it because it was cut down and they didn't get it set correctly?

What's the McJerry Report mentioned in the previous thread note of engine stampings/originality?:hmmm:

----The broach marks look OK though. If so, I think your assumption of a step is really farfetched, though not, I guess, impossible. Is it possible that that the edge we see is the edge of the head gasket???....Bill S

Doesn’t it look like some shadow numbers,especially number 6 above the stamped vin?

Looks like the Hood is incorrect.Although an original,it has the the very first hood design,which was soon superseded & switched out during production.
Too early for this late of an assembly of the 3rd week of June.

That stamp is all wrong for a KC car.

It was just another visual option. To me, it is too far out on the pad to be a gasket. I've never seen any gasket like that. Just looked like a little ridge. I could be wrong. I wish we could see a known stamp with some numbers blurred out....Danny

This is the second or third time this car and it’s engine stamp has been discussed here! Not sure on the stamp but she sure is a beauty!
