My brother's Black 73 L82 survivor also has a factory grind out, it has 30k miles & never had the heads off. When I inspected the car I noted the grind out, it didn't concern me much and didn't cause my brother to hesitate in his purchase.
When on display at the NCRS national show a couple of judges looked at it and agreed it is the original engine with a grindout.
