I have a Genesis iron block in my ERA 427 which I recently titled and registered in the state of NJ.

At the end of the day it really doesn't matter so much as to the date of the block. NJ is only going to let you title the car under the year the car was constructed. (this is really the key)

So although you may be able to pass the Genesis block as a '65, the car will still have to pass all of the safety requirements of a car manufactured today.

What does this mean you say?????

It means you will have to register the car with collector car plates. This gets you around the modern day safety requirements (air bags, impact protection, high mounted brakes lights etc). The catch is that with collector status registration you are limited to 3000 miles a year, but you will be exempt from both emissions testing and modern day saefety requirements. All the state will do every 2 years is make sure you have a working odometer, check your mileage and make sure the car is generally roadworthy.

Hope this is helpful.
