Is 4.5 months prior to car production considered date code correct for engine block?

a C (model year 1967) 9 6 assembly for a 922 Scheduled production date is about right. It's an early in the year car but that really doesn't mean much.
Even though the block appears to have been cast in '65, a block is a block is a block. The bare block was obviously in inventory for about a year before being assembled as an HP assembly.

Well, that’s 1/2 way through the 66 model year, and on a first year engine I would say that’s perfectly acceptable. What’s the assembly date on the pad?
