Noticed that too. Last number seems to be 8 with a faint 8 stamp underneath, penultimate number harder to tell. Could just be the factory making a better impression on the second try. Could be someone trying to make a matching numbers engine out of a close number. Hard to tell.

I ran the 5 digit number but did not come up with anything other than a range of years. Are you missing one digit on the engine number?

Wondering if the rest of the car still exists?
Any other sources?

The "P", the stars, and the numbers all have the correct size and shape where I would be confident these were stamped at the factory. It looks like they stamped the last two didgits incorrectly (transposed) and corrected them. The engine serial number is for a 356C. 7xxxxx was for the base C and 8xxxxx was for the SC. The reality is the cases are the same so you can rebuild the engines to whatever spec you want.
