The engine number should start with QM by the looks of things. 202 QM HQ to HX Low Compression

Holden never matched engine and chassiss numbers and most by now would have had at least a short block replaced.

I had a 74 Belmont 202 manual in 81 that had 373,000kms on it ran like a dream of course it had a recond engine 2nd recon actually. 160k is pretty much it for a red 6 and 202s had a bad habit of dropping pistons when new so many got replaced under warranty.

top of the piston comes off and rod goes thru side of block (capped the piston). Sold plenty of engine kits back in the 80s .

They used to reckon the stretch of freeway between Liverpool and Campbelltown in Sydney was a 202 graveyard first piece of open road after the city wind your Holden up to the speed limit just watch for holes in the block.

Pretty sure the L on the head means low compression. so if it has the original motor/head, according to the info QL is a high compression motor.
Yep. Years ago I had an old green A40. What a car.
