I confirmed it’s a 1972 248hp combo and it’s a core. The block casting is D0AE-L. Since that is the same casting number for the 70 and 71 blocks if I somehow found a set of 71 351c heads could I run it as a 71 since the block numbers are the same and do everything else to 71 spec? I’d run it in GT class.
