Of course a modern brand new aluminum block that just happens to look exactly like an old engine block from that era would NOT count.
Any specially-constructed vehicle (aka "kit car") that has not been previously titled in any state must use the SB100/SPCNS process in order to be titled in CA. There is no "year of block" title and registration for an untitled car.

We've discussed for years about bringing into CA a previously-titled Cobra from another state and registering it here in CA with the other state's previous title that said 1965, based upon the "full faith and credit" between states, but that method is not recommended.
