It's actually 4 months, but we are talking about November 9 1967 to 1st week of July 1968, and that's darn close to 8 months.

But as per Warren's example above, which is over 6 months, it would appear to be possible.

Yes kind of odd but the engine is original to the car and I know the history of the car from day one my father in law was the 1st owner,I am number 4 but know all the past owners

Cool...then you have proof that stuff like this, while not the norm, does happen occasionally. Warren's example is another one.

I can add two more examples from my data which includes two 409s that were assembled 6 months prior to the car assembly. Very odd, but it did happen.
