Well, to be sure you need the casting numbers... when you get them off the back of the block on the lip where the trans mounts up to the block you can visit this website that will tell you what you need to know about the block......

They were only made from '70-'80 and all had the left hand dipstick.I intend to live forever; so far, so good.
Thank you Roger. .
