Anyone know if a 72 ranchero 429 would / could have a D1 block casting if it was built june - july 72 ? I am not near the vehicle so I can't look for vin# and I am trying to use the info I have to determine the chances that it is the original motor to the car. thanks

It's possible, but I can check the parts catalog later. It'd be better to find a date code for the casting  as it should be before the build date but relatively close. The best would be a partial VIN stamped in the block that matches the car.
