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.

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.

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

If they are not really original -- they sure as heck look like they are.

Again, no VIN code.

Re: 62 Fuelie engine on Ebay - Restamp?

IT LOOKS TO BE A RESTAMP FOR SURE . THE # 11 IS INCORRECT SHOULD HAVE A FLAG ON TOP OF THE # with out a foot on the bottom ? JUST MY OPINION .......

Re: 62 Fuelie engine on Ebay - Restamp?

It is clearly a restamp, but the broach marks look real good. Whoever did them is a real craftsman!

In 62 there were several different styles of several of the different digits used--the "1" was one of those--can't toss it out based on that.

Re: 62 Fuelie engine on Ebay - Restamp?

I must retract my statement about the #'s on the block. those #'s only apply to the serial # . but these #'s are still incorrect . the #s for the month of november should be the capitol letter ( II ) instead . THANKS

Re: 62 Fuelie engine on Ebay - Restamp?

SHOULD READ ( FII27RF ) . THIS WOULD BE CORRECT . IN MY OPINION ......

Re: 62 Fuelie engine on Ebay - Restamp?

FII27RF for some reason my computer will not post the capital letter ( I )WITH FOOT ON TOP AND BOTTOM ......THANKS

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.

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.
