Hello, Im looking for some help/clarification regarding date corectness. I have a 67 Raven Black Fastback GT S Code. Marti Report has the build date as 7-11-67 at Mtuchen. From the information I have read and heard, date correct engine and components would be aprox 2-4 weeks prior to the production date. Therefore I would assume this particular vechicle should have May-June 67 dated block and other engine components. But this is not the case and its where my confussion begings and seek help for any other members that are more knoledgeable than myself regarding this topic. The block is dated FEB 67. I restored the insturment cluster and date stamped on the back of the odometer is also FEB 67, as are the tags on the wire harness. My only guess would be since this is a rather late 67 build, did ford just start throwing in whatever parts they had remaining to comlete the final production cars of 67? I also found teh brodcast sheet and it has a build date of july 67 as well. The original heads, carburateor, distributor, etc ( other dated clue componets) are long gone. Id like to find all these componets, but I dont know what date would the be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And thank you in advance.
