Hemicar71 - you are correct - something is broke. Just tried it and no soap.

Sorry - it normally works as easy as I posted.

Maybe the moderators will see this and have it corrrcted.

Ok, I tried again and it worked. Not sure what is going on.

Here is the fifth block cast. Was done on 10/18/1963 The early ones had some interesting features, looked more like a modified max wedge block which they were apparently.

The casting date of 10-17-63 is the earliest block I have seen and it is on the list I had posted earlier.

If the link shows up here is a picture of 10-17-63 Hemi Block. I think Kirkpatrick owns the block. I have a set of the first heads cast.

I also have one with a 1-17-66 casting date that's a BH 426.
Can't figure out how to post a picture of it.

Must have cast a bunch of 1-17-66 blocks, I have two and both are replacements with no stampings, have also seen 7 others, some assembled BH426 (2), some CH426 (3) and 2 built for 68's with stamped in VINs.

This engine was for sale the other day. Appears to be a 8-18-69 casting.

So glad I came upon this read, amazing history. So from what I read my car a 66 Belvedere early Jan build, the block would have been cast in August of 65? None where cast again till 1/20/66 (too late for mine) is this correct?

Yes. Most likely 8-16 or 8-17. But not impossible to be 3-9.

What do you all think of this block? I did not see this cast date on the lists.

That block is somebody's attempt at stamping the I.D pad of a factory over the counter block (1974 casting) so that it would appear to be an original Race Hemi block. (1967-68 vintage).

That stamping kind of looks like factory fonts to me. I wonder if it was a complete over the counter built hemi from some of the later cast hemi blocks. I know they were still casting blocks till the mid 70’s. Did they stamp the pad on those over the counter blocks?
