I looked on the pad, and by the oil filter boss , running vertical, and nothing. Not even the faintest attempt at a stamp. It's un-touched. The code also valid for a Nova in ' 70. The other blocks we got were all stamped by the oil filter. They were ' 72 402's, and a ' 73 454, and all had VIN's stamped there. Guess they just forgot it.

After some acid, some steel wool, a wire wheel in my drill, some more acid, and some sand paper, I've found the #'s 2031 stamped in the side, right next to the oil filter. They are very faint, and barely visible. Probably a late Friday after noon job, and the stamper had a hot date! No other #'s are visible, neither a 10 or 50, so no way to see what original application was!? Oh, well, it was cheap, and I got core crank in the deal also!
