Just curious, shouldn't it have H.P. on the pad with the numbers?

My #'s 68 383 from my Formula S is the same (no HP) Dave

Hate to tell you all. But all the blocks are the same regardless if it says HP or not. Kinda like the X on the sb heads. Doesn’t mean anything

Oh I agree with you.
I was just wondering if they were supposed to have the H.P. on them or not.
in fact, a lot of the blocks that I have seen from that era have the front motor mount bosses in them so they will fit A-Bodies or anything else for that matter.
I'm just trying to clarify things for you and help with your sale.......

68 a bodies 383 do not have HP. The A body 383’s are the only ones with a piece of the block cut off on the driver side. plus by the vin you Know it was in an A body (for the numbers guy). If you care about that any block will work.
