    I would have leave you question for outers to answer but normally the casting build date on the block (witch is the clock looking figure and number and letters)would be dated about 6 to 12 weeks pior to the manufacture date .HK would be able to give you better info
    HZ jasmine yellow sandman van
    HZ Madeira red sandman van (now sold to bigrob)
    HX mandarin red sandman ute
    HZ malachite green sandman van

    If the engine number starts with 11 instead of just QT the block is from a Statesman not a HQ-WB.

    sounds about right . HK1837 will confirm.

    Remember after Sept 1st 1978 engines changed to ZT prefix because the numbers ran out ! e.g QT999999. so QT96xxx in July 78 sounds good
