This is not the first known 4L tag.

I have never personally seen a 010 block that was cast in April of 69, but they exist.  I do have a May of 69 010 block, and no it's not for sale.

Yes, if you are going by the charts and figuring the production date, they will come out within a day.  We have been logging actual dates and casting numbers.  The first 010 block that has been logged was cast D. 22. 9 and a VIN 0f 6389xx.  Furthermore, Buddy's car was the first 010 known at 639xxx until this 6389xx came along.  We have five 04L's within a range of 6369xx to 6372xx.  ALL of them are 618 blocks!!  Buddy has been looking for an 010 earlier than his, for a LONG time.  This 6389xx just barely squeezed by him.  Do you think one in the 637 range is just going to bully its way to the top, Nope.

Congratulations Gary, now you know, along with the rest that didn't need to know!!!

There is at least one cast earlier than that. By several days.

Cast but what about stamped?

Bryon, It's not the cast date that matters, it's the assembly date, casting date, and the VIN that it ended up with in the car.  Like I said, several people have been striving to find a 010 block in a Z28 earlier than the numbers above.  There is also the definite ranges and groupings that have become obvious.  Those 04L dates above were very tight grouped.  This car in question is within this group!

Stamped versus cast dates can obviously vary.

I have seen them cast and assembled the same day - and spreads of over a month.

Are you talking in general terms of engine blocks or 010 blocks in this range we are discussing?

In general. But there is no reason for blocks in this range to be any different.

I should have said that I know of when I said 3rd week of April.  Might be earlier ones, but it is somewhere in that vicinity.

On the eBay car...big mistake not going with Rallye Green.

I didn't see the V0411DZ assembly date. VERY suspect! Axle questionable as well. We need pics.

Is your icon pic the same car, before the repaint?
