Hi - just a quick question pertaining to identifying engine: What does it mean when the serial number location next to distributor is blank?

I purchased a rebuilt block in 1983 and it is also blank. So either rebuilt or maybee a new engine from gm.

Two choices come to mind. Crate engine that failed to get stamped prior to install or someone ground/machined it off. I’m sure there are more explanations to come.

Thanks
