69 Z28 Same casting date as pad date.
Has anybody ever seen the same date? Hugger Orange 69 Z28 RS in NC on EBAY. Casting says C-12-9 and pad is V0312DZ.
|
Yes, it is possible that engine assembly occurred same day as block was cast.
|
I believe I have seen two. Also had a block that was only one day apart.
not the norm, but possible. |
There are a few examples of identical dates.
|
AGREED with above. Not common but has occurred.

My assembly date is 0912DZ; Cast date is I108. 2 Days.
|
My 1966 Corvette 327/300 block was cast 11/22/65 and assembled 11/23/65.
|
I've had same day cast/build dates on small blocks. As long as everything looks good, don't worry about it. The built them "warm" sometimes. :-)

Interestingly the ad says both 186 heads are dated C219..... |
Maybe just a typo ? Assuming C129 the heads were also cast on the same day !

Would have to see the stampings to verfiy.
That trunk and quarters look like they need rust repair. |

My 302 is cast C 14 9 and the assembly date is V0321DZ so if that engine was really assembled on 0321 instead of 0312 it would fit in pretty well.

Any opinions on the quality of a block that is cast and machined on the same day? My tool&die background would make me a bit wary of machining a block when in theory it could still be cooling? I would think 2 or 3 hours minimum to fully cool. Maybe they sequenced them OK. Was the Pad stamp done when the engine was fully assembled and ready to leave Flint? I suppose it could have been cast on 3rd shift and finished and stamped on 2nd shift (same day).

On certain build weeks of Deuces, the Z28 engine needs to be but a few days apart - or we become suspicious.... :naughty:
