i have a 65 malibu, since my original motor is long gone. i was wondering what CASTING date range would have been on the block? the car was built in 12C of 64.

hope someone can help. Thanks

Generally anything from a week to a month is considered reasonable although anything out to 3 months has been known to be acceptable.

so is that before or after the car was built?

so is that before or after the car was built?They would need a completed engine to build the car. I would say before.

so is that before or after the car was built?How could the car be built and run off the assembly line without the engine, or anything else? :confused:

I could see a salesman now.... "Did you want a motor and transmission with your new car or are you going to push it? Tires? You did not say anything about tires. But since I like you I can make you a great deal on a slightly used set. Trust me! Would I lie to you?"

... or how 'bout "buy the car now and return in a few weeks, we should have the engine for you by then". :D
