Really cool to see such a late 71 block using the left over T/A castings.  @6bblgt

I've seen other leftover TA blocks that got used during the '71 model year, but really hadn't thought much about it
the lack of blue paint has me most curious

1B401596 - partial VIN
TA340 11*25*69 - casting date
G?340P3573 - 1971 ?? 340 Premium Fuel assembled 5/10/71 * NO sequence number

from a late May '71 Duster 340

the second digit should be a "M" (Mound Rd. Detroit - blue engine) but it looks like a "W" (Windsor, ONT - orange engine)

lots of 340 4bbls for 1971
~10,000 Demons
~12,000 Dusters
~ 3,500 'cudas
~ 2,300 Challengers
~ 1,700 Road Runners
~ 320 Super Bees
