Do you think the later stamp date is a machine date versus an assembly date? Were these engines assembled in Dearborn as well or at the assembly plant? If the block was cast in Dearborn and the engine/car assembled in Wayne, I would expect some sort of lapse between the dates. Especially given that Ford would have shut down for model change retooling around mid-April, resuming production in October for the '67 year model.
