I can find the casting # and the vin but not the casting date. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,839 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,839 | If it's a 235 then snuggled up next to the starter should be the castings. Mine says B 262. Meaning it was casted Feb 26, of 1962. You need a strong flashlight and a retired tooth brush to clean up the area really well. Keep scrubbing and scraping. It will be there.

Is it located in the same place for both engines? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 1,966 | Same general area near starter. It may be behind it requiring removal to see numbers.
