Engine assembly date

[ssl78]

I have a big block engine where the 840 head casting dates are 6 days before the build date of the engine. That seems close to the build date any body else seen some thing similar

[1968RSZ28]

Yes, I have seen original engines with heads cast one day before the engine assembly date.

That's normal, often they are closer.

[69Z28-RS]

closer than ONE day?  ie.. meaning the heads were CAST, AND machined/built the same day they were put on a just assembled engine?  You've seen that more than a handful of times?

Ok thanks my assy date is a T1028JH and my heads are J228 so i guess thats ok.
