The Ford Barn

In one form of another I'm sure this question has been asked but I couldn't figure out a good search so I'll ask again (probably). Was there a lag between the engine assembly and the installation in the car. My reason for asking is this, I'm building a 1930 Coupe from parts the engine and frame are stamped 300949 which would be August 1930. In September of 1930 the fenders and running boards changed to the 1931 style. Not a huge deal except that the nose section on my right side fender needs to be replaced and they don't seem to be available anymore. Yes the are still listed in all of the catalogs but out of stock with no projected availability. Simply put was the engine stamped when it was assembled or when in was installed in the chassis?
