Can you try to get the VIN, that's REALLY close to the dates my missing engine would have been built.
 
So a 1-71 casting date can be correct for a 72 ? I'm just confused...dang.

Good luck w/ the sale torquehouse.
 
Yes C.

The engine wasn't built until around mid march 1971. Be for an early 72 car based on the stamping so far.

i think they misplaced the 340 that was in your old demon C, it was cast 7/70 it was assembled 11/16/70, and didn't make it into the car till 4/02/71 4 and a half months after it was assembled.
