Engine numbers match question
I have a 64 coupe fuelie with a vin# 40837S121567
the block casting # Is 4121563 FO 624RF
so the block is showing 4 cars earlier on the assembly line. Anyone
have an opinion as to the discrepency.

The block casting number should be 37828870, at the top left rear of the engine block.
The vin/partial VIN discrepancy is strange - I have no answer for that, other than to wonder if at some point in the past the car was "converted" to a FI by swapping in an engine with a close VIN.
The June 24th engine assembly date does correspond well to a VIN of 21,567 - or 21,563 for that matter.

I think you meant the engine stamp pad, not the casting #?

I am not experienced so bear w me. I do mean engine stamp. The title vin and tag is correct. I will check the casting #. where do I find the frame and trans #'s . As far as the production Date would not the end of June be close to that years end of production?
Thanks
