If I understand the judging guide correctly an engine could have bad broach marks and correct numbers and letters and still receive 50 points. Is this correct?

Yes. The exact text of deductions for the engine block are published in the NCRS Judging Reference Manual, Standard Deductions section... -
Re: 1959 Stamp Pad
Jimmy, the point assignment would be 38 point deduct for pad surface as spelled out in the Judging Reference GuideDick WhittingtonComment

Re: 1959 Stamp Pad
I udbnerstood if the broach marks were wrong (or completely missing) your stamped numbers won't be judged at all (at least that is what happened with my C1 block which was decked but the numbers were still readable)...

Re: 1959 Stamp Pad
That has been my understanding as well. I was taught that the casting numbers are judged first on a pass or fail basis. Next comes the pad surface, also pass/fail. Next comes the pad surface, followed by build date stamp with engine suffix pass/fail, and last comes the VIN derrivative. I do not have the book handy but each of these sections is worth a certain number of points. If any section fails, the subsequent sections fail. So it is possible to have non-matching engine that is the correct casting date and casting number, with a good pad surface from say an Impala. This engine could still get most engine points even though it clearly never came in a Corvette. To me it is an entirely objective and fair criteriaComment

Re-read the text of the judging rule...
You'll see there are places where if this section fails, it tells you specifically to skip the following steps, deduct so many points and move on to the next item. IF you sucessfully navigate the rule matrix down to the stamp pad, each of the items there (broach marks, engine assy stamp, final assy VIN derivative stamp), stand alone with no advice to skip judging the others if any one fails the test of scrutiny....Comment

And another word for our sponsor If one has interest in the Judging program, a very important piece to have in his library is Corvette Judging Reference Manual available from the NCRS online storeDick WhittingtonComment
