No one will ever know unless it is a 2-bolt main block and the pan is removed. If you plan on keeping the car, what's the difference? The engines are identical except for the four bolt mains. The heads, intake, etc. are another story, as they are unique to RAIV.
As you can see from the Barrett-Jackson auctions, numbers matching is getting to be a smaller factor each year. Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes, and other popular collector cars with upgraded drivetrains are going for big bucks.
I would love to have a Judge with all the RAIV parts, but a 455 block marked like yours is-or not marked like yours.
