If they have pictures in bare cast iron that looks acceptable I would give them a rubber stamp approval.
Usually they don't have any pictures like that.
Try finding a usable WH that’s not being sat on , it’s not an easy task.

I’ve been watching and inquiring for years because I do consider that another great option.

But I know the as cast C118 is what the car was raced with ,,
Those cast numbers are what they are, an L67 and nothing else . May not have a WH or a vin for my car on it , but it’s a legit L67 and pretty much that part is un- fake-able/ verifiable .

My SR block is traceable to its original spot in Stephens race Stash as something was done to it that is verifiable as Is My RAV pro stock dual quad engine it’s the same way.
So I personally am pretty happy with my blocks/ engines options for my car .
Probably, Not such a bad problem to have which to use in your low milage Real RAIV car your RAII , RAIV or RAV I believe they call that “first world problems.” Lmao
