If, however, you mean "birthday" by build date, that's still technically ok, but will likely raise the level of attention to the stamp pad . . .

[QUOTE=ctjackster]by "build date" you mean the engine assembly date appearing on the stamp pad? If so, I would think yes ("putting them in still warm" as they say), but might raise some extra attention to the pad. My spread (block cast to engine assembly) on my 65 SB is 12 days . . .
[/QUOTEMaybe I wasn't clear in my question. Not unusual for me!! The engine cast date is J-24-3. My 64 coupe birth date is 10/29/63. This seems real close to me given casting machining, assembly and shipping time from flint, plus in 63 this was over a weekend 24th a Thursday, and 29th a Tuesday in October 1963.
What do you think now???
