If you are referring to the cast date on the side of the block several months ahead of the SPD is common. If you are referring to the engine assembly date that is stamped near the distributor the date is normally fairly close to the SPD on your fender tag. However, we all no there are exceptions to these general assumptions.



What he said , is that the casting date or the engine assembly date ??? If it's the engine assembly date I would be questioning the validity of the # matching claim on a 4/26 build car as the car as you can narrow down the ACTUAL build of the car and you will more than likely find the car was built even later .

If it's the casting date then it's fine , inventory control was not done very well .
