    Can anyone tell me where the date code is located on 455 engine block?

    Not sure, the engine is in a 70 GS, has HEI distributor which is incorrect for that year.

    I visit Alain a couple of times a week(mainly to see the car & have a cool one lols).
    It is stunning and should be initially finished by the end of this month.
    Should do very well at the Lake George NY nationals.

    Alain, Hard to tell in your picture, but does the seam at the bottom of the rear window line up with the line in the trunk panel? My understanding is that is how it is supposed to be from the factory, but most top manufacturers don't ship them that way.
