The block casting date and assm date are far apart... have you seen the stampings? Broach marks?

That far a spread in casting date to assembly date on the engine would raise some red flags for me. Not impossible, but also not very likely. Get pictures of the assembly code and VIN stamp on the block.

My block casting on my 388 block is A 3 9. My motor is TO319HA. A perfect match. Car is 04A. Nothing wrong with these numbers. Rear is C179

I am not saying that it is not possible, I am saying that it is not probable unless the 388 blocks were "batch cast" like 512's. I know that there are alot of 512's with Axx9 casting dates but June assm dates.

That axle isn't original. The car (pretty sure it's the same one) used to have a March axle.
