It is a sept 1968 built car. I could be wrong but isn't that only 30 to 60 days. Bill

Your post was "Sept 69 built Camaro" made me also think the car was built Sept 69, not Sept 68 as you indicated in the follow-up post.

What is the engine casting date and engine build date?

Bill,
Instead of starting multiple posts about the same car, can you keep posting on one thread?

I recently had a 396 engine from a 69 L/78 Nova. The assembly date of the engine was mid-February
1969 and the cast date of the '272 block was mid-august 1968.  It was all original.  Extremes do occur.
