As long as the dates are a week or so up to 3 months before your car's build date, you have a numbers matching engine...especially if the last 6 digits of the VIN match the numbers on your block but this is not always the case, 71 455 H.O. is just one example.
Not following you 100%. What isn't always the case? 71 455 H.O. is just one example of what?

It's not numbers matching if the partial VIN doesn't match. It can be date correct and/or code correct, but without that VIN it's not numbers matching.
