Afternoon everyone,

I was out parts shopping this afternoon and was shown a block with HF XU2 stamped on it. I've been told the HF is Harry Firth and the block might have been from an XU2 prototype

Has anyone heard of a block being stamped with this before?b0d6e14c0e97d315df34ef50935e5577.jpg

It also doesn't have the 253/308 cast on the side

Probably an early 253 or mid VR onwards 304.

What is your opinion on the stamps used Dave? Authentic?
