Flint engine stamping question

At what time did Flint stamp the assembly stamp on the pad. Was it before it was fitted with the rotating assembly or after?

That's interesting, seems it was essentially a complete motor when the assembly date and suffix were stamped then. I had thought it was in a much less assembled state when that stamping was done, at least on C2s.

For Flint it was pretty much a long block with water pump installed. Tonawanda stamped them before the head(s) were installed.
