Short of that level of resto, repro trim rings hide the stamped dates fairly well.
BTW, my '71 HO T-37 has the 8/13/70 intake & 483637 casting block. The T was built late Dec of '70.

Thanks for all the information 'ol Pinion head. This is very interesting stuff to me. Did somebody say they were going to compile all of this info / data and make it available to everybody. That would be great. Thanks to whoever you are. I know it's a lot of work to study and sort through all the post and decipher what's a fact and what is not. I feel lucky that those of you that have been at this a while are here saving guys like me a lot of heartaches down the road. Thanks a lot guys, I'm grateful.
My car has the 483637 block also, and I do have an NOS set of trim rings in their boxes. But I prefer the wheels without the rings. Now...I only need another $100K for the concours resto.
Ha, that ain't gonna happen. Anyway, I want to drive mine. I am doing the best I can though. I hope to get it back this year.
