    The 77 will be something different. In any event built October 1973, which as said earlier fits with the engine number which looked '73 sequence.

    7th October 1973. Can also mean 1983 or 2003 but the casting on the side will tell. 308 on one side is 1973. 308 on both sides is 1983. 5.0L or blank on both sides is 1993.

    Engine number is QT. Definitely 73.
