How strange does that seem that it's a March 70 build for a '71 model year?

The casting date is not a build date.

The final assembly completion date is on the front face, right below the drivers side head.

Front of block gw340p 3272 assembled July 13 1970 experts know what kind of car it came out of?

WOW! This is so close to my vin. But not. Bummer.

It's from the 1971 model year.

Hamtramck made A & E-bodies that year, but no B-bodies.
