    Don,
    Can't speak to the numbers, but on my engine Scott Sehr stamped in a small shop logo on the heads & block, just so he can look and be sure that they were the ones that left his shop. On yours, having those numbers stamped on the block would be a hard reference if a warranty claim arose after some time, showing exactly what was put in it without digging for paperwork. Only thing missing is the cam info. Just a thought.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Ok, today I took a better look at the connecting rods and pistons. The pistons have TRW 2244 P stamped inside, and the rods actuallly read GMB 687, not GMA as I thought. The only other marking on the connecting rod is an X in several places. The rod bolts have ARP on them, as do the rest of the bolts on the engine.

    Does any of that info help ?
