289 engine date codes
This might be a tough question... but fun information!
Anyone know what the typical date codes (if there is a typical) for the 289 cars' engines? I was looking for a core and wondering what date to look for. I plan to replicate 2459 from July 64, but it got a heart transplant in October of 64... after a heart attack at Bridgehampton.
How long would it take for an engine to be built at Ford, shipped out west, reworked at Shelby, then installed on a car?

Get healthy! C4 is 64. As far as exact dates, I'm sure someone will pipe up here. Good luck with the build!

Anywhere from a few weeks before a particular car was finished to many months before. Chassis were not finished in order received nor were engines installed in order received.

Better than Mental, I suppose:p

Lew blew up the engine and Carroll gave him a replacement... just trying to figure out what that date code might have been. |
OK, I spoke with an original CSX owner, who indicated that the general thought is that within 2 months prior to the finish date is correct for engine date codes...
I have a few other inquiries out there, still.
