 I would especially like to know the meaning of the  "K" , and if
 possible, the year this engine was built?  >>
 K = North American export, 1971 model year, build between Aug 70
and August 71 with the last engine built being #26226  Original
placement of engine was with a gearbox that had overdrive (R).
The WE shows a first gear fitted with synchromesh.  H is high
compression of 8.8:1 vs L which is 8:1.

Hope this helps,
Harry
