You took a pic of the date why not the casting number too? Engines that were assembled as a unit will usually have very close dates as in your example.

I remember in the early 70's he and Lamar Walden were doing some custom Cam work on it. The first one spun a Bearing and he pulled it apart and they put another one in and I think it spun another one. That's why he decided to just restore the Car because he was going to have to pull the engine again. He stripped it down and Primed it and it's sat ever since 73 in the back of the Shop.
I was looking on the wrong Side of the Motor, I thought the Casting #'s were on the Pass. side of the Motor and I couldn't find it. When I get back to Atlanta in a few weeks I'll find it. I know where it is now.
Ahhh, I just assumed it was the 09 motor, maybe that was the one he pulled out of it...
Probably so, natural progression. Six banger, then small block, then W engine!
That air cleaner sure looks like 67-69 camaro ??
