Did replacement blocks have any stamping on the pad?

Yes on replacement engines,bare blocks I doubt it. But the stamp was just CE complete engine,no details.

Another rabbit hole. Lol

Low compression heads / engine make good supercharger candidates.

Turbocharges work well too!

I have been considering it. A couple weeks ago I almost bought a C3 Vette that had a blown 383 stoker. That would have been a good engine swap I think. Then I would have sold the Vette at a profit, with my 400 in it. It was a cheap car because the interior was thrashed, and because it was an estate sale from someone that croaked. The kids were just liquidating everything cheap.

My 388 is built on a bare 1pc, 4 bolt, oe roller casting, it didn't have anything on the front pad and it was stock deck height
