53 blocks can be stamped in 2 places. Has anyone done any research as to stamp placement vs. block quality?
We currently have two 53 blocks sitting in our shop. One is obviously cracked, and is stamped on the passenger side of the engine. The other is not cracked, has 305K miles on it, and is stamped on the drivers side.
If you have or know of a 53 block that has cracked - where was the stamp? I'm wondering if they really are all bad or if the stamp placement possibly differentiates them.
Thanks in advance.
