Hello ben94

 

QT is fo the HQ HZ correct

 

The other is the date code for the block

 

probably be 13H6 the  13th day of august (H the code for august)  1976

 

Not sure of the clock face however ..

It hung around a fair while before it was given an engine number as that is a May-July 1977 engine number.
