I wondered, the same thing. Looks almost, Brand New.

I am curious to know the significance of the numbers on the back of the engine, W814 -68 -C11 ? Thanks

w is the block type
814 is the last three digits of the casting number of the 814 block using this mold end plate
-68 is 068, the last three of the 068 casting number using the same mold end plate
-C11 should be 011 which is the last three digits of the 011 348 block using this same mold end plate
