Numbers were stamped on the engines in the Pontiac Assembly Plant on the second floor in a department refered to as the Motor Bridge. Numbers could not be stamped in the Foundry as the blocks were not milled or machined until being processed in the engine Plant #9 which was between the Assembly Plant (Plant #8) and the Foundry (Plant #6).
And yes to earlier posts...alot of tooling, equipment, parts, vehicles were damaged, lost, buried (foundry scrap), hid in scrap cars (rail cars), etc.
PMD Pontiac was a very large facility in the day...
