Title: Appropriate engine cast date for 65
Post by: Markstang65 on July 11, 2018, 09:04:22 PM

Hello,
I'm curious as to what the general consensus is for an appropriate engine block cast date lead time on a late 65 Dearborn 289. What are documented cars typically showing? Two to three weeks maybe?

My 65 Dearborn car is not a late build, it is a January build and the original engine cast date is January 5 with a scheduled build date of January 11.

I've got everything from the engine being case a month the car's scheduled built date to engines cast a month before the car was scheduled to be finished.

Most a week to two weeks for 65 Dearborn
