I hope to add additional info and pictures with casting numbers and casting date codes when I get a chance.

Rich,

Good clear pictures.
Post pictures of block casting number and casting date.

Everyone take note of the stamp pad picture.
It is close up and focused.
The pad is clear of paint, there are signs of corrosion, the broach marks are visible and the stamp is not "perfect".
It looks like I expect an original stamp pad to look.

It'll be some time before I can get to the casting numbers. I plan to do a mini restoration on the coupe once the wagon is done. I plan to pull the engine and clean it up, check the bearings and redo the gaskets and repaint it. When I get to that I'll get some casting number photos. Probably be the latter half of 2010 or 2011 before I get to it.
