Re: 62 Fuelie engine on Ebay - Restamp?
Broach marks seem to end where they'd be hidden under the head.
Also, no VIN stamp, so it was never installed in a production line Corvette. At best an over the counter replacement, but I would guess it's been made into a "restoration motor" that the next owner can apply his own VIN to the pad.

Re: 62 Fuelie engine on Ebay - Restamp?
It is hard to tell, but it looks like a .040 over on the piston. If so, then there has been a lot of time to wear that much, so where are the rusted pits on the deck under the water passages?
That implies it has been decked to have such a clean deck. and any decking would have wiped the lines that are nearly at the cylinder.
The lines visible go back well enough, but I almost see a curve, but that could be illusion from a photo.- Top

Mike - says 0.020 over in the description.......may well be a belt sander pad job but includes a fuelie unit etc.......see the listing hyperlink below....this seller has several BB engines as well.......touting a new CNC machine for block prep.....looks like on this one he is selling for what the market will bear vs the BB's for high dollars.......Craig

Re: 62 Fuelie engine on Ebay - Restamp?
I agree. The broach is hopelessly incorrect. The "one" and "two" characters are certainly not typical but I suppose possible. Also, as you mention, the lack of a VIN stamp would have to mean that this was a complete engine assembly sold through GM parts, not a fitted or short block assembly. Partial assemblies had no stamp at all.- Top

Looks like he is a little confused about the correct or original 9 fin valve covers.
How do you put offset hole 56/57 9 fin valve covers on straight across 62 heads?
Without drilling extra holes?
Sounds like it might be a nice set of 9 fin covers if they have not been drilled.- Top
