Thanks

Don't worry about it, just build it. Date codes are for unicorns.

I had an all original 40,000 mile '65 built in November '64, engine was October '64 with early '64 plug wires. Date codes are for plastic chevy people.

Another person that doesn't know how things work in a production factory or the real world.

I still also owned an all original 40,000 mile late '64 built '65 with early '64 plug wires. How's that for date codes.

I’m pretty sure I know how it works. You’re just being an for ass telling the OP he is a “unicorn” for his interest in finding the engine he wants for his car. Whatever a “unicorn”is to you. You can enlighten us.

X2, Last Time I heard, the Owner of the Vehicle gets to decide what information/parts HE wants for HIS project. There always seem to be a lot of people on PY with Opinions about what a Owner can do to His/Her vehicle/project. And with that comes the Cheap Shots along the way. Back to the EUN Info.
