Engine block stampings
This the motor out of my '69 Z/28. Has anyone seen a motor stamped and casted on the same day? I know the motor has not been re-stamped. Thanks

Re: Engine block stampings
As per CRG...
"...Blocks have been found that have been cast and assembled in the same day, but that is not normative. There are also blocks that have been cast and then assembled months later; again, that is not normative..." This page... http://www.camaros.org/drivetrain.shtml  ~ Pete

Re: Engine block stampings
I believe that during heavy production times, this wasn't unusual. I've owned several small block cars that have had engines cast and built the same day. They ran 24 hour shifts and it could have been cast early one day and built later the next day.
I've never seen a big block with the cast and build this close, but I'm sure it could have happened.

Re: Engine block stampings
On my 70 L34 Nova the engine was casted and built one day apart.

Re: Engine block stampings
They were cranking engines out at a pretty good clip in Sept. 69. I sold a Sept 69 DZ block a few years ago cast and assembled either the same day or one day apart. Can't remember. Should have taken some pics.
