    Would work fine for a 12/77 HZ GTS or Sandman, even into 1/78 possibly.

    That's the casting date of the engine block, not the build date of the engine.

    Mmm interesting my van is 9/77 hz but my motor is out of a 308 hj vacationer wagon
    and i know the history of my motor rebuilt a long time ago would need a freshen up by now
    but your on the other side of the planet
