The legal way to do it is have the RTA send you to the Police for a Police allocated number. This is normally done when you present it for registration or inspection for an engine number change. Also looks like crap as it's not easy to stamp on an assembl |

its not that easy to restamp, unless you have the stamps.
also the casting date on the block should match the period of the number.
i recently had a guy try to sell me a JP block for $2000,
cheap, you would say.

Then someone is in trouble. If it ended up in court then with the help of an "expert" witness you would probably be OK if you had the original as the other block would have an incorrect casting date. I got offered a standard bore 327 the other day but som |

It was no con. It was how it was bought. It must have been done at some stage before the current owner. To him it was just a SBC.
