October '65 Tonawanda pad

Miss-typed year in post Title and message yesterday , and cannot delete message or change main title . So i'm posting this new here again . This is the correct message (1965 stamp / 1966 model year)

I would appreciate it greatly if anyone would post any photos of any Tonawanda stamped pads , stamped on 10 - 28 - 1965 . Prefer Turbo-jet , I don't know if any small blocks assembled there/then. But if so , would love to see also

Thank you in advance.

There were plenty of small blocks cast at Tonawanda, but none for Corvettes. All Corvette small blocks were cast at the Flint foundry.

I do not care about the casting . I care about the prerequisite broaching and the stampings that occurred on that day at Tonawanda. So any engine that was assembled there on 10-28-65 , i'd like to see a stamping pad (if unaltered).

I'm curious what you are seeing on the pad in question - would you post a pic of it?
I don't see any on the C2 registry for 10/28 but these are close:

and,,,
the 327 would not be machined on a 427 line - so your broach marks are engine line speciofic, time to post what you see
