That
is correct, my 70 El Camino has a block, casting date Oct. 8, 1969, 396/402,
heads (390) casting dates Jan. 16, 21, 1970, intake manifold cast date
of Sept. 7, 1979 and a block build date of Jan. 23, 1970 @ Tonawanda. The
early cast date and late head date could also be caused by the rush to build
454's which also used the (390) head on the LS5. The changeover for
the 69/70 model year is FULL of these ABNORMALTIES, due to the strike and
LONG 69 model run. Transmissions dates by MUNCIE for the 70 model year should
all be 661 case's and this is not true around Dec., Jan. of 1970, many 660 cases
were still used due to the slowdown of production on vehicles!! Guess you better
have a POP and believe what it says!!
