Use em. The sensors do not care what year block they go in. On my L98, the only sensors that go in the block are oil pressure oil temp and the knock sensor. They will all work in a 79 block.

They remain in the cylinder head or intake manifold.

I'm running a 75 4-bolt 350 block. My sensors only whine when they are supposed to.
