the only place it will have any positive value is for a car that had a build day a short period of time later than the date on the block---as far as the 010 castings, they are readily available and since the oil/zzp/roller lifter era hit us they are more or less just taking up space---I think that I have between 10-15 of them at this time-----------

You're right, Jerry. The reason I pointed it out was that I had seen earlier in the week a nice '62 'vette tricked out for vintage racing, and they stated that the original 283 was "tired", and that they had searched for a correct date code block to rebuild, then used their fuelie heads & injection unit to build it out. Just thinking someone running a '69 or '70 Camaro might like to have a "new" engine....
