Heater core date code?

Do big block heater cores have a date code? If so, where would I find it?

I would think all Harrison heater cores have a date code. I've seen it on one of the tanks...Joe

All of the Original GM Heater cores I have seen have been stamped on one of the side "Tanks" with the month (1 Digit) and the year (2 Digits). My LS-6 was a 03D Arlington built and it was stamped 3 70 A good radiator shop can re-core a heater core like a radiator. Bill

Here is an example of the date code on Harrison heater cores dated 67L.

Harrison cores are what GM used. The end tank opposite the necks, will say Harrison and will have a date code. It will be the last two digits for the year, followed by a letter. The letter represents the month.

Thanks guys. I'm assuming mine is original but will be nice to document the date code.
