I am in the process of restoring/rebuilding the engine and trans for a known #s 71 hemicuda...The block has a casting date of 11/68..The VIN stamp looks 1000% legit...I dont have the car so I dont know the SPD, but the vin sequence is in the 4's...so its a late production...Later than any Ive ever seen, yet this one has an earlier cast block.


I've been gathering my hemi casting dates, which I'll post in Scott's new thread. But I did want to mention another car. According to the Inspection Report posted for the blood-money auction the EV2 '71 Hemicuda they sold was VIN 4xxxxx, and was described to have its original motor with casting date of 4-15-68. I have a feeling we'll find that, generally, the early '71 Hemi cars got the later blocks as Hemicar mentioned, but the casting dates generally got earlier and earlier for the later built cars.
