I would not place too much importance on the cast date. You need to look on the top pad at the assembly date. This is usually within a couple weeks of the SPD. However, there are exceptions. FYI - The cast date can sometimes be several months to a year earlier than the assembly date on some engines. Sometimes it is just days before the assembly date. In other words the cast dates can be all over the place.

What is the VIN on the engine VS. the VIN of your car?
