That is a good casting number.
I have never seen any 440 block without a VIN pad....unless it's early....like maybe a '66-'68. Before they were stamping on the top rear of the block, near where the trans mates to the engine. After you stop bleeding have another look

.
Wonder what the casting date is. Block almost looks turquoise in the pics....may be early.
