Looking for a 63 block.

I think youll be very lucky just to get ANY 1963 block., let alone within 2 weeks.

David, I have a '63 Roadster that I pulled my original engine out of about 4 years ago and dropped in a ZZ4 crate engine. My buddies were running B.B. Chevies and I wanted more H.P. to keep up to them. I kept the original #'s match engine, just in case I ever decided to sell the car or convert it back to original. But frankly, I'm having too much fun with the ZZ4, so I might consider selling the 327. Just prior to dropping the ZZ4 into it, I had the original 327 completely rebuilt with a steel crank and flat top pistons and topped it off with a rebuilt Carter WCFB. The engine was a strong runner. My 327 is the 250 H.P. (RC) version. The engine is sitting in my garage on a new engine stand.I know that my car was a June/63 build, but I don't recall how to determine the build date of the engine. Is there a stamping somewhere that I should be looking for?

Thanks for the reply...I am usually lucky...

Yep, you're right on David. Mine reads E163. I assume that means May 16/63. Does that sound right?

Hey, StingRay, try this:

I also have a friend looking. Let me know what your date code is and also what all the numbers on the stamp pad in front are.

Yes, that's correct.

That is correct....

Thanks for the link Tom! I've bookmarked it. As mentioned in another post, my date code is E163 and the numbers on the front pad are my partial V.I.N. # and F0521RC. Let me know if your friend is interested. Thanks again. StingRay
