Looks good mate.
Is that number -008 ? Could it mean 8 thou' removed from the decks? That's probably enough to nearly remove the engine number.

I'd go along with that, seems a reasnoable amount to ensure the deck was square to the bores, over stamp them with V8 Kid 1

I'd hope that they would have equalised the deck height as well.
