What is so special about the 1956 Chevy motor 265 DATE CODE casting #s. I know the numbers represent the 12 months of the year and the earliest letter is M (made in 1955)? , but what makes some month letters more special than other months. For example B236 etc. other than it makes the 1956 car a matching numbers car.?

Thanks, Dizz..........

Wow, I have seen some Chevy 265 ( need rebuilt ) go $5–600 and mine priced @$4–500 not sell. I thought the date code had something to do with it because two would be buyers ask me for the date code. Then they backed out.
Thanks, The Dizz...........
