Default Pontiac XZ Engine on Ebay

I checked on here and there was a thread about one of these blocks and they are out of a Bonnie

http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...4&highlight=XZ

Looks like it was ground down and re-stamped?
(Why XZ if so?)

What's up with the numbers above the XZ?

Looks like he tried to make it look like the partial VIN down further on the block?
(failed at that also)

Total Fail i did this as an experiment, I had a block that was trash so i took a set of stamps that were over 20 years old and a set that were new they were both close but you could tell the one that was new that stamp he did was from a set that is brand new never used EPIC FAIL

66-67 GTO Valance panel? Forget the used / NOS crap... 66 and 67 GTO TAIL panels are way different from one year to the other. neither year even has a rear valance.
That block is another MISS.

The thing that I noticed is who the sellers are... seriously? That's all he knowledge you got? Surely not! Look at the location and the names of the sellers.
