vin vs engine date

[Jerry B.]

Is it possible that a mid Oct.56 build 57 match a J86 ( Oct.8 56) engine code. Since the 283 ci was introduced for the 57 model cars, was their high demand on early build cars for this option. Would this be excepted for NCRS judging ? Sure meets the 6mo. rule!!

Jerry,

If you're asking can the motor cast date be after the VIN # birthday - answer is no it would not be acceptable.

If the engine was cast October 8th 1956 and fitted to a car built on October 15thish 1956, why not?

Re: vin vs engine date

Jerry, mis-read your original post. Mid month car with a week earlier engine cast date is OK. Gary....
