Stamp on top of 8ba block
I’m tearing my 8ba apart during the winter to toss a new cam in, saw it was
Stamped Rex then some numbers under the intake Was curious if anyone knew what it meant, my guess was maybe a rebuild |

Re: Stamp on top of 8ba block
My 255 Merc engine in the 53 parts car also has numbers stamped in the top of the block near the back on the right hand side. I have no idea what they mean.

Re: Stamp on top of 8ba block
Say you’re a rebuilder and you get a kickback on a job you did. That stamp is your go-to identifier to look up the job in your shop records.
