No problem on that time frame. Sixty days is well in line.
These blocks were not on a first in, first out basis.
Don't let that steer you away.

EXACTLY. It was the same in all auto manufacturing plants back in the day. There was no consideration for stock rotation until the end of the model year just before change over. The rest of the year they would just stick new stock in front of old stock in the racks. You can find examples of late model year cars with very early model year cast engines. It is not necessarily the norm but it is not all that rare.
I know that when the very first NCRS judging manuals came out back in the mid 70s that they allowed engine casting dates of up to 6 months prior to the assembly date of the car due to this.
