There's one for sale on another web site so I have not physically seen it. Just pictures The block was cast 3/8/68 Based on the data pad it's D = 1968 assembled 3/21 2nd shift Could that engine have been installed on my car with an SPD date of 3/22 ? I know SPD dates are not hard fast but ...... I'm attempting to get ahold of the owner of the block to see if there is a partial VIN, unsuccessful so far. I know after 1-68 they were stamping the VIN on the top of the back of the block on the mounting flange for the bell housing., just not sure if the date sequence is possible. Any thoughts Last edited by Chi_Town_Runner; 03/31/21 03:33 PM. Remember - 2 wrongs don't make a right - but 3 rights make a left!
