    62 327 cast # vs stamp pad date

    Out of curiosity I checked the numbers on my original 870 block out of my old 62 vette. I found the cast date was C.21.2 while the assembly date is 522. According to the b'day calculator the car was assembled May 31 62.
    Vin - SI12076. I purchased the car in 1967 and sold it in 1972 but kept the engine. Thought about dropping it in my 63 but it excedes the 6 month window for the cast date while it works out for the stamped date.

    Does anyone else know of such a spread bewteen a cast date and assembly date on a 62 vette?

    Just wondering if the time spread was specific to my engine or were there manufacturing issues at that time and others around that vin# have similar date spreads?

      Not that unusual, John H has a thread from a while back that explains the trucks arriving with fresh castings form Saginaw many times per day and going into the front of the pile when there was a saginaw plant problem, accident on I-75 or other disruption, the pile got down to where older blocks were used.
