There are some specific casting time frames for the Tiger engines
and parts, I believe.
This is one of the points I wanted to determine with the engine study I
started.
There are some castings that were cast in a very narrow time frame.
Ex: I believe the last group of 2bbl intake manifolds for the 260 engine
were all cast on one day and it is a Tiger specific casting number;
C5OE-9425D, casting date 5A28 = Jan 28 1965.
I know there are other similar cases but I had limited response from my
request for information.
I believe there is a great deal of Tiger specific information that can be
gathered from the original engine Ford Casting numbers and casting date
codes.

At least as it relates to the Tiger and Ford associated engine products, is
it safe to say there is no specific number relating to each individual car,
but rather a "time period" of the casting date that can be termed "matching
numbers?" And, if so, "matching numbers" would not specifically mean the
original engine that came in the car? That of course disregards the valve
cover with the original engine ID which would seemingly need the "correct"
number.
Anyway, if this is accurate, is there debate in the collector world between
"matching numbers" and original engine? Are there specific date code that
can only be applied to the Tiger?
Curious peaks my interest, Tom
