Thanks for the update.
Makes sense from a visual aspect.
The 'stamped plaque & screws' date code under the valve cover looks exactly like the one on the block.

The date codes between the spark plugs is info I got from the inliners and chevytalk forums.
The sellers of all three 848 heads I have also used that code.
