Mr. W72, thanks! This information is in keeping with the cast date codes that I listed in Post #2 on this thread (page 1).
That's quite a history these W72 engines had finding their way into these cars. From Fall '77 cast dates to Summer '78 engine builds, to Jan-April '79 installs. In addition to the planning that went into this strategy, storage, potential for parts robbing (borrowing) and logistics to integrate the stored motors into the cars must have been somewhat challenging.
Looking back on it, that's pretty cool indeed.
