I think this was a photo op shot for the new SD engine ('73, before they were pulled for the emission problem). Which would make the next engine a '73 also.
I had written more but edited it.
(basically what was in that thread posted)

I figured it was a 73 engine, but didn't have any listing for it.
(knew of the Y8 in 73)
I have a 74 listing for the ZN, so used that, thinking it might possibly be a late 73 photo shot.
(the '12' in the bar code maybe the month - 12/73)

Anyway, I would still love to have been there.

There's 1 out of a 180 chances that's my motor. How cool would it be to verify the numbers on that build sheet and match up to the car? Can anyone see vin or body numbers on that sheet?

He's referring to the 72 WM block in the upper picture. 4spd HO with unitized Ignition. (The more powerful engine) .

That should stir things up!
