Which seemed a bit unreasonable. Thats why the engine and casting dates were sought. What we found was there was no obvious pattern and it became clear why when it was noted that the Canadian factory changed production processes in the winter. The workers were put to work in the warm areas of the factory so casting of blocks was done and they stocked up for spring. So the first blocks out to get machined when they went back to normal were the last ones made. Often its months before they get to the back of the pile so we see blocks made in April with a low number and one cast back in November with a number a lot higher as it was probably June before they got to it. Something that came about also was the letter casting system.

I will search through my files and hope that I can locate that letter, and if successful, I'll post it here. The plant in Canada assembled engines from parts sent over from the US in 1. I will agree with what you said, . I received a phone call tonight in response to a search for early Canadian Blocks and what I now believe and is yet to be sighted is that a member of the club has a block produced in Canada with Made in Canada on the side and a casting date of 9- 2. January 1. 91. 4 C number stamped on it. Never have any been sighted in all the engines Peter or I have looked at before 1.
