Six Pack Intake Date

[Wolfe440]

71 440 Six Pack engine, it has a date on the cast iron intake manifold that shows 7/25/69.

Were previous years used from the factory?

Thanks, Wolf

That's pretty early for a 1971.  Do you know if the manifold is original to the motor?

Thought this was interesting! I have an unrestored '71 V-code Challenger that has a scheduled production date of Oct 26th, 1970. The intake manifold is dated 12-15-69.

Not 100%, but car has original 24k miles on it, been in storage since mid 70's and I am the second owner, first has passed on. I'm more positive then not its the original intake.

Interesting, starting to look like they had a lot of 69 leftovers..
