Default Returning to stock

Going to return my car back to stock configuration, motor wise . Looking for a 1973 WK engine with 4X 3H heads with a date code of October 72 , late September 72 or early November 72.
Rest of the car is numbers match but the original motor is long gone. So looking for a close date code configuration .

Since the block date code is in a location which is hard to see, if you can't find a WK block with the correct date, you might wanna consider a 71, or '72 WK. That should give you a lot better chance of locating a WK 400 block. The heads may be easier to locate, since some of the '73 WK blocks have probably been used for stroker builds, with different heads. But, you probably already know all this.

Wow the shipping date is the same as my GTO. Sucks your so far away 17-18 hrs from Toronto . Would have to make a 3 day trip. Is it a good motor ? How much would you want ?
