I will be keeping a data base myself so emailing them to me (at bugframes@msn.com) would be fine, posting here is welcome as well. Here's an example of what I'd like to see (as much info as possible). MN4262904513(3or8?)76: Friday, August 15, 1969 (8-7-69 2 stamped above MN#) VIN: 0A107875 1970 Lynch Road Casting date: 11-18-68 Top Pad: WT 426 B

Here's another one (same casting date as yours Ryan!)
That's pretty cool. I know of a few other Hemi blocks lying around. I'll try to remember to document them better.

It had a 68 stamping on the back flange & Arruzza said it probably came from a 68 Hemi car.
If it did, it was definitely from a 68. That's the only year they did that.

Scott, I found the folder & on the pad it's stamped MN4263360011 & over that looks to be stamped 12-16-67. Casting date is 10-3-66 and VIN looks to be 201381A8, but is hard to see. I have a print out of the photo & will have to scan it tonite when I get home.

A block with some shaving. Funning thing is this block and the block above with the surface rust were cast a day apart. Matt

The last three blocks I posted pictures of were all stamped BH 426 on the top pad. The first orange block was cast 3-21-66. The surface rusty block was cast 8-17-65, and the shaved block was 8-16-65. I had thought they were the same day, but I guess it was a day apart. That's about all I had written down on them. Unfortunately I don't have them in my possession any more. I will also try to get a few pictures of the 69 block in my 68 bee and post them up. Matt

This block is in my buddy's Charger. It came in a Superbird in Florida. After a 5 week search for the man he wasn't interested in the block so we put it back in the Charger.
