The engine in my 1973SQB is not the original. How can i ID the year of this engine and where are the numbers stamped? I have looked everywhere and cant find and engine code or stamp.

the engine number is stamped into the block on the top of the motoralong the center seam. Some times it is covered by engine tin, grease, crap, whatever.
You can check the year numbers in a bentley manual or even a Muir Idiot manual

I think your 73 should be an "X" number. early fuel injection was "U" and 66-67 twin carbs were "T".
