I don't have a picture of the May SPD car, have to put it up on the lift. Font looks correct. But I have other full VIN engines/transmissions in the same Serial # range. I understand that they are not necessarily an indication of build date, but it appears they used full VINs up until the 275,XXX range? I'll check my other engines that I can get to and post some pics.
The hemi motor in my 68 RR came from a 69 RR. No idea of the car's SPD the translated date on the bottom rail is 9 Sept 68. The block was cast on 6-10-68. The side pad is stamped with a partial vin - "9A254886"
I posted this number some time ago in the lost and found section but nothing so far.
I had to do a double take on the earlier picture posted with the 68 stamping. That one was "8A287500" mine would be "580" I really had to look close and blow the picture up to see if the 0 might have possible been a 8...but it sure looks like a 0...
Still looking...
