Just purchased a 71 ss chevelle 1 owner 52,000 orig mile car whith full docs and while i was going over the #s before purchase the eng casting date and front pad stamp are like nothing i have seen before http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif.While searching for the casting date at the rear of the block there was nothing just the 010 small block eng id # no date.... Finally i found it located right above the starter on the side of the block stamped backwards in ( ) http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif.Then the front pad looks virgin but the stamp has spaces between the assy date stamp like so (example)TO8 15 CNJ but the vin # looks fine http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif.
