3969854 block question

[DSYenko]

It's fun to imagine things about something when we never seen anyting like it before and doubt it but i really think it's legit.I have the engine in my shop and i think it's factory.One of the things people are focusing on is the casting date,the date is one of if not the earliest seen for an 854 block .While the date is odd the hyphen is odd also and it's not like someone put one there after the block was cast, that was there when the block was born. I asked your opinions and im getting them and appreciate them but as of right now im taking this block at face value ,a 68 Chevelle 375/396.This thing was in a race car or in a race shop corner before most people ever cared about numbers matching. It also came from Texas in case you live there and are missing the original engine in your 68 Chevelle.It came from Texas 3 years ago and was in a Fiat drag car,before that.Thanks guys
