Where can I find the engine assembley date on a 71 small block? thanks

Stamp pad... Front right (passenger) side of the cylinder case. For your 1971 LT-1, it should read something along the lines of V####CGZ

The four numbers indicate the day and month of assembly.

On the stamp pad, a machined surface on the block in front of the passanger side head. Would be in a format like V1014XX. V=flint engine plant, 1014=build date (month/year) or Oct 14 in this example, XX=engine usage suffix.

Thanks guys. I never realized it was on the VIN pad.

In addition to the other responses, it WILL NOT be there if your engine is a service replacement engine or the block has been decked. You won't see "those typical" numbers if the aforementioned has happened in your case. :nonod:
