So this will give you an idea of how far back your block could be like 3 months before you build date so a Dec or Jan is gonna probably be the date casting for your car.

If you guys work a deal I can bring it up north... The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
