1965 ENGINE

[JEFFS1965]

I HAVE 1965 COUPE # 680 BUILT ON SEPTEMBER 9 ,1964 . I AM DOING EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE I HAVE CORRECT MOTOR . JUDGING MANUALS STATE THAT ENGINE BLOCK CAN BE WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF ASSEMBLEY DATE . I JUST WISH TO HEAR FROM OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE A CAR BUILT ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS MY CAR . BECAUSE MY BLOCK IS DATED H 64 AND I WAS WONDERING IF THAT IS WHAT IT SHOULD BE ? ANYONE CLOSE TO MY CAR HAVE SAME DATES ?:confused

"H" would be an August built block. for a Sept car that sounds about right. The block casting date should precede the engine pad assembly stamping though, what's the pad stamp numbers?
