Legit or not pad stamp ??

[Rod67]

Does this assemly date & partial vin look legit, and if it does, anybody ever hear of the last number of the vin missing the pad ???

thanks

[Rod67]

Sorry the picture is so small, hope this size picture is easier to see.

[Rod67]

and again

Looks like this pad, probably cause it's the same one. 
This pic is from last month, from ebay.

[Rod67]

Sure i got this block off ebay, but is the stamp legit??

[KurtS]

Appears to be OK.

[Rod67]

Thats good news, thanks kurt. The reason i got this block off ebay was because of the assemly date. My original engine is long gone and the 396 that was in my car is from a 1966 impala. I do have the POP for my car and the assemly date for my original engine is T0617MW, 11 days after the assemly date on the block i got from ebay, probably as close as i will ever get to my original engine.

thanks

Rod,
No problem.

btw, if you have problems with your ID, just email one of us and we can fix it. No need to get a new ID.

Kurt, I'm not getting a new ID & wasn't aware of any problems with the ID i have. Plaese let me know if there are any problems.

It sure appeared like the post by rod67ss is by you.

Yes I did... but it was years ago. You should find the posts under doing a T56 swap into a '67 that I did back in '98. Not sure of the date of posting - but it was under rod67. I couldn't remember my password & my Email has changed so I just registered again under rod67ss.

Hey Rod, can you post the full engine pad numbers from the 396 in your car (that from a 66 impala), so i can add the info to my fullsize list?
Thanks, Warren

Kurt, I have had the same ID, Rod67 since Oct. 2005 when i joined, its the only ID i have had. Rod 67ss is someone else.

tar6569, I will post those numbers for you as soon as i can. ( @ work right now )

thanks
Rod

[KurtS]

Thanks! You can see how I was confused since he says he was rod67!

[Rod67]

Kurt,  I was looking back and i must have joined around March or April of 2005. My mistake on the Oct. date. That must be when the new formatt started. Anyway i was Rod67 in the old & new forums.  Thanks for all your help.

tar6569,  here are your numbers on the impala 396.  Pad : T05I8IVR and they are I's not 1's.  Partial vin : 6S260489. Casting date on block : D 22 6. Heads : 3872702 with casting dates of E 12 6 both heads are the same. Number by the flange at the back of the block : 3855961. Hope this helps.

thanks
Rod
