[454 LS-5 Identification]

ncrs.org has a thread of the exact same block done the same way.

It's called "casting number ground off!!" 2006

 

I'm not sure why anyone would grind a casting number and stamp it.

That's kinda obvious.

[454 LS-5 Identification]

Can anyone help me identify/verify this block? It has the last 4 casting numbers ground and stamped "3512". It's stamped T0129CRN, 188153794. It was cast L15 9.

I have found where GM did restamp some early blocks, but my question is the the vin stamp.

I would think it should be stamped 10"Letter"153794.

Does this block have any value to restorers?

I plan to use it for a Nova build.
