Question 289 engine date codes
This might be a tough question... but fun information!

Anyone know what the typical date codes (if there is a typical) for the 289 cars' engines? I was looking for a core and wondering what date to look for. I plan to replicate 2459 from July 64, but it got a heart transplant in October of 64... after a heart attack at Bridgehampton.

How long would it take for an engine to be built at Ford, shipped out west, reworked at Shelby, then installed on a car?
