block # question
my 72 has the right casting # on block and the correct #s on front with the vin. at garage today where i was getting it worked a guy there told me the motor was from a 73 because on the opposite side from where casting # is there is a # that says f12 72. how could this be with casing # and so on being correct? is he right? also my build date is 7-72.

Take pictures of your pad stamp and post. Take pictures of the "casting date, and post"
could be I (maybe March) 2 1972, could be 1 (January) 2 1972, lots of possibilities.
What is your VIN, what is your alphanumeric code from your trim tag. All of these things come into play.
