I just purchased a new, high performance 427 FE top oiler from a very reputable engine builder. What got my attention was that engine was built from a NOS block that had been sitting in their shop for (obviously) quite a while. The price was good and the builder builds some of the best but the thing that got my attention was the NOS block. So, I bought it and it is now in transit. In speaking with the builder I asked about the casting date and they indicated that there is no (apparent) casting date on the block. I contacted Ford Performance and they said that there should be. Anyone out there have any ideas as to why there would not be a casting date on this block?
