The engine in my 1969 GT350 is a 1975 date code block with early 1969 date code heads, carburetor, and distributor.  The vehicle was assembled in late December 1968.  Upon inspection of various original date coded parts, I've found them to range from late 8J to very early 8M, with the majority in the early to middle 8K timeframe.  That being said, what would be the most likely date code range for the engine block and other date coded engine components?
