Do the rest of the part casting date codes correspond with the 1/65
assembly date or is this a short block with a build up from the original
engine?
A 1/65 would have the later style distributor; and early distributor has the
oil port.

Subject: [Tigers] Date Coded Wheels
My Tiger is B9471120 (build date Oct 1964) and the original wheels are
stamped "64". Looks like someone swapped the wheels on your car in the dim
past.
The engine that came with my car is a Ford 260 but was assembled in Jan-65.
Sometime in my car's history the engine was replaced based on the date code.
The guy I bought the car from said it had the original motor which was not
the case.
