Here is a pic of the Trans and numbers on the motor, Would there be other number John ?

 

[FJ40Jim]

And the date code is:
2 12 13

1962 Dec. 13th.

 

[Living in the Past]

I never knew they was a date code. I know there is serial #. Serial is on the passenger's side towards the back. There is a flat area behind the dist.

1961 Serial number F-142016 Date Code Oct 28th 1960

1963 Serial number F-175651 Date Code Aug 9th 1962 this is a early 63 with a 1962 production date.

Not to often you find where someone put in a earlier motor. Most the time it's seems to be a F replaced by a 2F

Here is what we got done today. Now tommorow we will be taking it over to the barn for storage until we figure out what our plans are.

 

[landcrusher909]

[My wife said no FJ!]

No kidding. That's a pristine example in these parts.
I would be driving it to town to show my buddies by now.
