Early blocks (incl. 1965) will have 3 staggered core plugs. Later ones have 5 in a row. Search for a post in the last month or so asking the same. I posted a table from slantsix.org w/ block casting #'s, but it has gaps and SlantSixDan chimed in saying, "rife with errors". I recall there was only one block PN of 225 cu in with 3 core plugs. But, until somebody runs across a musty factory catalog, some of this historical info may be incomplete.

You know the guys back East are drooling seeing that rust-free engine from the Mojave Desert.
 
G - Series (model year) 1971

3594 - Final assembly date from the 10,00 day calendar - May 31, 1971.

Right on, and that 1381 may be 138th day of '71, which may mean May 18th, 1971 casting date.
 
Search this forum for threads on this, but your eng. would be a 5-
core hole casting,large-hub, post '69........ May 9th,18th,31st,...?? Lol.
