    05 21 is the build date, May 21st. The number 1 looks like the letter I on Chevy engine stamps.

    GF was used for 2bbl 283s in full size cars in the mid 60s, probably a 1965 engine with that May 17 1965 casting date code

    51BA2F7F-01DD-44BC-B1A6-4C2EFCCCF859.jpeg Thank you Squirrel! I had trouble uploading the date code, here it is. I think it is a five but I thought the 1 was an I!

    either 5 or 6? probably doesn't really matter which.

    The I thing tricks a lot of guys who haven't looked at a lot of numbers
