For case halves, I know the 70-76 are virtually identical, the 77/78 should be the same too. The heads are where changes took place. the 77/78 have more oil lines. So cases should be no problem but I have not had cause to do it.

For motor mods, it is hard to say. If the Previous Owner stuck a 1080 kit in, it would be obvious with weld marks in the jugs to seal oil leaks. An 836 is a drop in aside from boring of course but you cant see anything from the outside. you might be able to do a compression test and if you have number close to 170 or higher, it may have a larger bore. Most everything would have to be visually inspected unfortunately, to be able to tell.

One clue could be the ignition. Which electronic is it?
