71-440

While I was under the car today I found the block casting numbers.
It's a 1977 block.

Interesting info on blocks from 440 source.

Nothing wrong with a later block, they will make the same power as an earlier one. For myself, the date code doesn't matter.

There's what looks like a date above that on passenger side. I think it is a 2 16 77
