    Engine date for HX LE?

    Hi,

    To get a date correct engine for a HX LE are they the same as a sandman? a month or two prior to the date of the car?

    I have a 8/76 LE
    I can get a 7/76 QT block but not sure if this is too close? the LE's had a bit of a unique history in the factory prior to actually being completed.

    I'd be checking out a couple of LE's that have the original donk.

    The 8/76 LE's I have recorded have engine nos. between QT769xxx and QT788xxx, might not help if the numbers have been ground off but gives you something else to look for.

    I'd also be checking cast dates.
