My build sheet shows a build date of 301 which I presume is March 1 of 1967 (if I am interpreting my build sheet correctly). What do you think the chances are of the engine being the original for my car with that much gap between dates?

The SPD is the date they hoped to build the car when the order was first entered into the system, but a lot of factors could affect actual build days.

Is the car original or restored ? running up my post count some more .
