Block casting 618 build plant
I recently read on CRG that 618 cast blocks for 1969 Camaro were cast at the Flint plant. My car has a 618 cast with a Tonawanda stamp on the front pad. Does anyone know if 618 blocks were possibly cast at Tonawanda?

Re: Block casting 618 build plant
Is the pad stamp on your block a Camaro application code?

Re: Block casting 618 build plant
Do you have a picture of the stamp?
Does it have the lifter galley plug above the timing cover? The square shaped plug to the right of the stamp pad....

Re: Block casting 618 build plant
If it doesn't have the plug it was machined at Tonawanda and many HA's were built there, I've got 2 in my own collection.
