Hemi identification question

[HStoffICC]

We got a pretty special B-body in at work, a 1966 Coronet Hemi. The fender tag shows it to be a true factory Hemi car and it's claimed to be Govier certified. My general manager claims to have owned the car at one point, found the original block and had it all re-done before selling it years ago. He tends to exaggerate quite a bit. Anyways, I've been doing my own searching over the block and it appears that the casting number is correct. I can't get a look at the year of the casting date, just the month and day, January 18th. I did find this stamping on the block though, I was hoping someone may be able to identify what it means.

I didn't think Hemis had a front pad, just the one on the bottom at the rear which is where that stamp I pictured is. Where exactly would the front pad be?

 

[Beekeeper]

yep they have a front pad for sure same location as 440. drivers side front valley rail next to intake

Well there it was indeed, staring me right in the face the whole time, ha ha! Thanks Beekeeper! Think it appears legitimate?

It was assembled and is stamped for the 66’ model year so there’s a good chance it’s legit. The assemble date needs to be just prior to the assembly date of the car

Got a picture of fender tag to see scheduled production date? That would be a check to see if engine was assembled before scheduled production date. The block cast date 1-16? 66? the BH kinda proves its a 66 block.

Looks good, scheduled production date is April 6th!
