I looked on my engine and found numbers on passenger side they are 1-20-67. Does this mean it is a 67 engine or a 68. I'm confused I had someone say if it is stamped 67 that they went in 68 vehicles. Thanks you
 
Could be either or, but chances are that with a Jan 20 1967 casting date it was destined for a 67 cuda. 68 wasn't until mid way thru the year, July/August.

That early in the year would almost certainly be a '67
 
There are some numbers stamped on the front of the block just below the driver side head like C273 and a number?
What is the scheduled build date on the data tag on the car?

There is a 273 before these numbers. Also where do i find the schedule build date on data tag . You talking about fender tag

And with block stamped 1-20-67 that would mean the block is a 67 I guess
Anything cast and stamped in Jan will be that year. That is 5 months into the production year. Mid year. Now, never say never. Now, it is posible for a block to be cast and not assembled until a few months later or assembled and not installed for a few months but that has rarely happened that I have heard.
