Warren said my monaro is a april/may 70. this engine looks like a match for mine. Can you tell which factory the motor was released to like the chevy? thanks for your help :)

If the car is a 1970 it will have an ADR plate that will tell you the month/year the ADR plate was affixed which will gine the a ballpark for an engine number.

ID, vin and Wall match which have helped me find out it is round april/may 70 gts. This May motor with the correct heads sounds right for my rig i recon. When will it end? LOL
