It's out of any HK model other than Brougham or GTS327. It is 74000 numbers into the HK 6cyl engine sequence which puts it roughly midway as there were about 200000 HK made (not sure if this includes exports) and at least 20% were V8. So maybe August-ish1968.

 

And it's a standard cam HK 186 L20 engine. The only other HK 186 was the 186S (L66). There was no higher output 186P until HT and no L23 186L until sometime after HT initial build.

Can't be out of a regular GTS either, can it ?

Ah yes, forgot about him! Was just thinking about HK models where a V8 was standard.
