      I’ve acquired an original low mile ’67 big block and one item came up. The car is very early, #350, it carries the 3904351 block and the engine stamp is beautiful as is the transmission stamp. The engine build date, transmission build date and rear end build date match the original Warranty Plate perfectly. The transmission stamp is #349, has anyone ever seen transmission stamps off from the VIN and engine stamp?
      Probably didn't change the # in the vin holder when he stamped the tranny & then realized it when he went to stamp the block. 349/350 who cares it's just a job. LOL

              It's pretty obvious of the GM line worker screw up. Just take pictures so you can enjoy the discussions it will generate. I find it cool that a grind out never occurred. You have something unique and different.

                  Just a theory, but I'm guessing since the trans stamp is out of sight, out of mind, that the grind-out and fix didn't seem as important at the time. Engine stamp is easily/readily visible of course and probably checked/rechecked whereas trans may not?

                  Very interesting in any case.

                      I don't know if I've ever seen a transmission grind-out. I'm glad he didn't stamp the engine first.

                          Tim,
                          After 1965 GM started using different stamp sets for the transmission vs the engine pad. So chances are lesser the same guy was stamping both engine and transmission on this '67, but I could be wrong.
