I happened across an 87 300D with what appears to be a #22 cylinder head in a pick and pull yard today and I'm thinking about trying to grab it tomorrow. However, the "22" is not raised with the casting. Instead, the "22" is stamped into the head, just before the raised "01" in the picture. The area where the "22" is stamped appears to have been cast with no numbers, i.e. it does not appear that a lower number was ground off. I'm wondering if it was cast at a point just prior to it being designated as a #22. It could just be a fraud.
Have any of you heard of making in this way?
I apologize for the poor quality, but it is hard to get light and focus.
