1969 COPO 427 engine

**Hawkeye** · #1 11-04-2008, 04:52 AM

I am currently looking at a 1969 COPO engine and I need help with some information. First is it possible to have a block cast date of January, head cast date of March, and an intake cast date of March, but the build date be April? It is a 512 block with an MQ code. What else should I look for to verify it's authenticity? Please help me with any info you can give me.

Yes, is the answer to your question. Post some pics of the engine Pad Stamp for more help.

I unfortunately I do not have a pic of the pad, but he info reads T0410MQ 19B375xxx. Hopefully this helps. Would a picture show anything in particular?

My MN COPO block was cast on Jan. 27 of '69 and was assembled on March 18 and went into a car that was built in the last week of May.

I thought the heads were cast 1-3 months before the block but not I'm sure.

I will post a picture of the pad as soon as I get one, but please keep the info coming. This is very helpful.
