Re: Mystery 396 casting date

From casting to machining/assembly could be as little as one day to a couple of weeks; the Tonawanda foundry was right next door, on the same site with the engine plant. They produced 5500-6000 engines per day, just like Flint V-8 did (except Flint V-8 only made small-blocks - Tonawanda made both SB's and BB's).
