Restamp kits "Like the General Did It" have been advertised in "Vette Vues" magazine (and others) for almost 40 years; this is nothing new. Where there's money to be made, people re-stamp.  :-\

There's a guy that shows up at Carlisle events with a truck load of blocks. He will stamp them while you wait for any car you want.

Guys,

Yes the broach marks on the block are wrong. Nobody is arguing that.

The STAMP is fairly convincing. 
...

This entire thread has confused me...   WHY would there be discussion on the STAMP when it's obvious the broach marks are gone, that the block deck has been tampered with, re-machined, etc??  The STAMPING is fake, regardless of how correct the stamps themselves might look...

Gary, think outside of the box. Yes we know the stamp is a fake. Broach marks are only part of the story.

The quality of the stamp would fool a lot of people and that’s NOT good!

As JohnZ quite clearly pointed out, there have ALWAYS been 'good accurate RESTAMPS'... but they are still restamps.   (The Corvette world and NCRS judging of 'high end' cars is a good place to check that out!).. :)   One should not look at ONLY the characters in the stamping to determine this, but analyze ALL aspects of the engine/car/stamping/etc to make a determination.  IMO, having 'accurate stamps' is no more convincing as a single indicator than having a block with a good cast date!

note:  Original broach marks are the best indicator I've found when all else appears good.

Sorry to confuse you. Perhaps you didn't read the entire first post?

The whole purpose was to discuss the stamps themselves and how they can be easily obtained. This stamp is used as an educational tool for insurance appraisers. It's fake on purpose.

Why would you even discuss broach marks when it is obvious the pad is of a completely different engine generation?

Well, he didn't actually say they were 'good' or 'accurate', just that restamping kits have been marketed for many years, to make money.
And agree with Darrell, great to see John active here.
