I was reading this thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=2135898
and decided to look again at my numbers, its weird that engine was cast 9-9-69 (2 nines) built 9-11 (2 ones) and car was built 9-22 (2 twos), I just found this odd and thought I would share.

Hi 427/400,
I think what's also interesting is that your dates are SO typical of the usual time between CAST, ASSEMBLE, and DROP IN CAR. People always ask about a strange lapse in time but yours is one that's so normal.
My 71 is normal, too. Cast Dec. 31, twilight shift. Assemble Jan. 7. Drop in car Jan. 14.
Regards,
Alan
