Good Idea, Thanks. I will add that to my research. I crawled all over the 260 car I found. Panels, engine pieces, everything I could get my eyes to see. And that car made alot of sense to me. All dates appeared as tho scheduling and plant supply parts ran without any hitches. Most engines I have seen (I don't have tons of examples, mind you), but the components all seem to run consistent with cast dates and assy. Did find one example of a 'C' code that was assy on the 12th of June but the block was casted back on May 13th. But other than that, most seem consistent. And since I do not know an 'actual' build date, I am trying to complete my car so that everything matches with some consistency....I could probably say consistent one more time.<img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
