number and date code help needed
I was told that the heads on my 68 327 didn't match the build date of the motor/car, could one of you decipher these numbers for me.
Trim tag L02
Engine stamp VO628HE
Block casting date
Head casting dates
C 19 8 in case you can't see it in the last picture. Both heads are 291s
Thanks guys.

If I'm reading right, your car was built In July
Your block was cast June 26th. Should be OK there.
Your block was assembled June 28th. Looks OK
One head is May of 68 and the other March of 68. NCRS allows a 6 mo window so your heads should be dated OK too.
I don't see any issues, unless I'm missing something.
