Mine was assembled in January and build date of car was 4C. I was curious also and one year at the Camaro Nationals in Niagara Falls Fran Preve and another gentleman, an engineer at Tonawanda spoke to the group. I have his card somewhere, but can’t remember his name. He had taken it upon himself to keep records on numbers of the various engines built at Tonawanda. I believe he was the source of the 1015 L72’s built at Tonawanda that floated around for years. I asked him the building/assembly date question because of my car and he said that was perfectly normal. In the December/January time frame they had no idea how many L72’s they would need, so they made a sizeable run. When an engine was needed there was no first in first out system, it was ship what was easiest to get to.
