Block stamping thoughts?
67 SS396 on eBay. Really nice car, but what do you guys think about this block stamping. Looks to have been decked?

I have seen a lot of BB stampings that are directly under or underneath the head plug. The all “claim” to be original stamps. I am not sure how this could have been done.

"The engine suffix was stamped on the deck before the heads were mounted (at least for BB's....not sure about SB's), which would explain how some stamps can be so close to the heads that would otherwise make it impossible for a gang stamp to reach."

Thanks. My concern is more what appears to be circular machining marks. They are very light, but I swear I see them!
This is the car... https://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Chevro...4AAOSwp2Vdq-A1
