The block and head casting dates can be anywhere from a day to several months prior to the stamped assembly date on the pad, although a couple of days to a couple of weeks is more "typical". Block and head dates typically will be different, and head dates won't necessarily match each other; nobody paid any attention to casting dates when the engine was assembled.
