Our van was built during the 10th month 1977, and the engine number on the block is
19G7 which from reading the codes above should be 19 july 1977 assuming we have read all the info correctly this motor should be near enough, as was built 2-3months previously to being correct.

if anyone has any opinions please advise...

Engine number is QR887183

Also be careful of some SBC stuff as they used I in the early days!

Interesting.. i had a look at my engine at the date cast

Looks like JJ(or a 7)51 with the little clock pointing closely to 6.

The start of the engine no is 11QT

Confusing

Any ideas?

Trimatic pattern as well..
