What is the latest 202 cast date block seen or known of, before they were changed to a 3.3 cast on the block?

Good question. My 72 HQ ute (unsure if its the original) has 3.3 cast on the block.

202 runs up until HZ era from memory. I think I may have even seen a VB 3.3 with 202 on it.

I believe the casting change was around mid 1979. Early VB had 202 cast blocks.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0
