Re: 1963 early trans date ?
The parts were dated at the manufacturing location in the case of the Rear end and the block. I'm not aware of a stamped date on a block or Trans, unless you are looking at the engine assembly date. Casting date of the block is on the bellhousing flange at the rear of the engine. The trans tailhousing carried a casting date, but it was not a stamped number...Bill Clupper #618 -
Re: 1963 early trans date ?
Your transmission assembly date should appear on the driver's side of the main case at the rear, just behind the side cover and should start with a "W"; tell us what that stamping reads and the VIN stamping that is in the same area.Comment

Re: 1963 early trans date ?
my stamped date on the tranny is 11-4-2. my casting build date on the engine is 10-31-2 the build date on the car is 11-9-2 approx. the original paper work from the dealer states a delivery date of 11-9-62. I am curious on how all the numbers could be so close in the time frame it takes to do the assembly etc.. The main tranny case has a 10-31-2 casting date and the stamped build date is 11-4-2. The engine is 10-31-2 build date. All this seems really close.Is there anyone that is very knowledgeable about dates on the T-10s ThanksComment

If the stamped assembly date on your trans is 11-4-2, it was done by Bubba at the used car lot, not by B/W.Comment

Robert,
The stamped date should be by the side cover and should look something like this, WK2221Comment

[/IMG] Photo shown is of typical Borg Warner assembly date & cars serial number from a 63 Corvette transmission. This is what you should have. The engine assembly date is on your front pad, next to your serial number. Do you have a " 421 " bell housing?, or a " 403 "? Got any pics????

Re: 1963 early trans date ?
OMG. The date format is correct from the factory ( not acually stamped in the 11-4 -2 configuration ,that is the actual date WK 4 2 1 .My question was regarding the time frames, as it just seems very close to the actual build date of the car.I was wondering about the actual sequence of the stampings.IE casting of the main case, tail shaft,side case etc.
I guess I need to know the whole procedure used to produce the tranny and at what points the tranny was stamped with the dates.Comment

Robert,
I don't think the letter I was used so K would be October, that should help some. My experience is the casting dates of these main cases are usually late summer (H).Comment

Re: 1963 early trans date ?
Had this. Tim is very very correct about the " I " Looks like the codes went by calendar year ( A = Jan. ). Easy enough to find a case, as long as the gearing is original to the case, and the tail shaft hasn't been changed out. ( I've seen that )[IMG]
