Another date question
What would be correct engine assembly dates for a 1965 with a born date of Nov 30 1964? Body date is Nov 23. Could the engine have been assembled as late as Nov 27th? Thanks for your help. Phil

"Typical" is 2-6 weeks prior to the car's final assembly date, but NCRS gives full credit for up to six months. November 27th is too close to the final assembly date - engines were shipped by rail. 5-6 days is about as close as you can cut it.

Thank you. Thought maybe mine could be to long. Have matching engine# and pad T1104HG, nov.11 1964. The engine cast date is I84, sept.8 1964, almost 8 weeks earlier. Cylinder heads are I 214 and I 244, sept. 21. and 24. VIN indicates car to be "born" dec. 1. 1964, so this sounds "normal" then?
