I see 2 differing descriptions for this engine code, years 69-72 and years 69-79. Which is right?

*I also see on the page that says 69-72, the engine listed as 69-79 is 3970014, not 10.

2 different blocks.
I'm seeing 69-79 for the 010 and 68-79 for the 014.

Both are correct. From what I've read and heard the '014' block was used in base horsepower engines and the '010' was used in upgrade horsepower. I have no idea what is different between the two (other than casting #). What does the ID pad say? (RF of block in front of passenger head)
