[Tigers] Engine build dates

How is this for good stuff?

The engine assemble date stamped on my engine is 5K14M which is 14 October
1965 which matches nicely the engine tag I bought (5-K).

Looks like I indeed do have the original engine still with the car.  It is
all coming together nicely.

"The build date on your Tag is 5 - K, Oct 1965 and 66 for the model year, my
Tag Date is Jan 1965, model year 65."


Shouldn't that build date match the build date stamped on engine block
located
near the water pump?    According to the BON my car's build date is 10/64
and
the stamped engine assemble date is 5A18F which translates to January 1965.
So someone swapped the engine out and replaced it.
