hi all,
just shedding some light on what cast date numbers should be on an engine block for a 66 gt conv built in Dearborn MI, date code 16J

Typical would be a week to up to 2 months preceding the scheduled build date.  Keep in mind that the scheduled build date is just a guess and the actual build date could be off by as much as weeks before or after.  Observing the various dated parts throughout the car can sometimes give clues as to how close the car was made to the scheduled build date.  Quite a few sheet metal pieces are dated, glass is dated and other parts.

here we go the numbers are as follows,
C5A-6015E,  with  5 G 2 1, above it.
How does that stack up
cheers
