Thanks for your help. It's always fun to learn this kind of stuff. It will make me wiser the next time.
Needless to say, I'll be taking this fake 272 off my milling and replacing it with my real 272.

If it is a se or xp, yes - but not if it is one of the later non-xp/se ones that came out after the 272xp replaced the 268xp.
Btw, I suspected it was a 50mm one, when I saw the 6 and 7 (thinking 67cc) on top of the cylinder - do you now if it has any relevance - and what does the 1 and 2 mean???
Here's a picture of the only marking I found:
The numbers on the right of the 'C' are 6 over 7. Does this tell you anything?

Lol, take it with a grain of salt. I got a 2100CD once that was a 285CD when I it got home. Its a 2100 now.
In my experience in various forms of racing (street, drag racing, motocross, hotsaws, and even hobby stocks once), you will find out that most hotrods are talked up a bit more than what they actually are. If you got a good running 268 power head for $50, you still did good.

Heck. A 50 buck powerhead is STILL a deal.
Even a used 'Wild Thing' costs more.

I do not know what the small numbers on either side of the size number mean. I think the occurrence of the 6, and 7 is only a coincidence and has nothing to do with the displacement,

The numbers are probably casting information...foundry,,location, date.. etc

I think you must be right. My 'confirmed' 272xp has 4 over 5 I think. Whatever it was didn't line up with the displacement.
Gordie--thanks. Although it breaks my heart that people have to pay $50 for a used wild thing.
