Bob;
You would think there would have to be some time span between these dates, but we have found otherwise with the '70 COPO Novas. The majority of cars with their original engines have blocks cast on 5/14-16, assembled between 5/19-24, and installed into cars built in 05D. I didn't think the blocks were cooled down enough to machine them, but Jeff Dotterer claims that this tight time frame is not unusual - especially in '70 with the strike.
