I can’t think of many high end ram air cars with SR blocks off the top of my head but I can think of many with properly coded correct application blocks such as WW WS WQ YW YZ etc. This is all a matter of opinion and somewhere on this site there is a LENGTHY thread on this subject. If you’re searching for a SR block NOW, it’s gonna be kinda hard to make the claim it was replaced under warranty 45-50 years ago. One might find themselves in a world of CHIT if one makes that claim and the original block surfaces. This has happened before. My experience over the last 20-25 years, almost everyone I’ve dealt with wants the correct letter coded block over a SR block. Plus as stated before, it’s REAL easy to find a 72 SR block, purchase it have a machine shop line bore it for original 4 bolt main caps (usually just the center caps) then grind it down and stamp a Ram Air Block number, be it II, III or IV.
