Keep in  mind that engine T1109RH could have been built in 1967 for all  we
know.  T is Tonawanda, 11 is November, 09 is the 9th day of the  month but
the year is not specified.  I think they finally fixed this  in 1968-69 but
earlier engines are a guess.

Clark,
GM/Chevrolet didn't include the date code to help us out with more  
information. The date code was used as a BUILD CODE for the engine assembly line  
to tell them which parts to install in the engine. Everybody on the line knew 
 what year it was at the time so, they didn't have to include that info.
