If a 1960 3756519 block has a casting date of C160, I surmise that it was cast on March(C) 16(16), 1960(0), and that it was cast at the Saginaw plant and was sent to Flint for assembly. Block has the pipe plug at the front face of the block above the water pump. The pad was decked. I assume it's a Flint assembled block but not sure if from a Corvette or not.
Did all Flint blocks, whether for Corvette or Pass Cars/Trucks, get the little pipe plug?
What if the engine was cast in Tonawanda on March(C) 1(1), 1960(60). Other than the little pipe plug at the front face of the block above the water pump done at Flint, what other ways are there to differentiate a Saginaw cast vs Tonawanda cast block.
