1956 survey for a possible Restorer article

[Edward M.]

Hi all;

I am considering an article on 1956 engine sequence numbers as they relate to VIN numbers, and possibly casting dates as well.

To that end, I would appreciate it if anyone that owns an original 56 Corvette would please send me the following information.

VIN number:
Engine Sequence Number: (the seven digits stamped on the engine pad before the engine suffix code)
Engine block casting date:

I have about 45 entries already from Mike Hunt's 56 data that he sent me many years ago.

You can post your data here or send in to me in a private message or email. My email address is emccomas57@gmail.com.

Many thanks in advance for all of your consideration.

Ed

Ed, That's a great plan.......

I don't have a original '56 here, but here's a bump.

Ed:

My 4200 56 should be in Mike's data. Good luck with the article!

OK, a clarification. I do not have all of Mike Hunt's data.So if you have a 56, please tell me what the VIN is, the engine sequence number is, and the block casting date.I do not have this data for car 4200. I would like to have it.Thanks.
