Default Does TSP mark their Short Blocks

I am looking at buying a 00 SS that has a newer short block in it. The owner of the car bought it built over 2 years ago and can remember who the previous owner said built the short block but he thought it was Texas Speed. It also has ported and polished 241 heads with a great sounding cam that he didn't know the specs on. I am still going to buy the car but was just curious if Texas Speed marked their short blocks to see if it really is a TSP motor. Thanks for helping me figure this out.

Sorry I missed this one....they are not engraved or anything like that, but we do sharpie a build number on them in multiple places. They get that 4 digit build number on a few of the main caps, and typically on the front of the engine either under the timing cover or on the area where the timing cover gasket seals.
