You may find it is only the case or block that is from Mexico (many replaceent cases were imprted from Mexico during the 80s/90s) and with unknown
mileage on each engines' components, it will be 50/50 as which is the 'best' case... do you know any more about their history

Know little about history they came in back of 72 squareback I picked up a couple of months back . Both look similar condition. Any idea about 68 vs
72 engine are they same, as have found a 68 that is for sale (apparently working when removed ) would that be abetter option as spare. Thanks for
ideas!

have a look at the bearing journels, (where the bearing sits) check for wear or damage, look right round the mating surfaces on both left and right
sides, someone may have used a screw driver to part them, causing damage and an oil leak.
also look where the oil cooler sits cos there were some german cases that were weak and cracked causing oil leaks!
keep an eye out!
