Here is picture of the passenger side.


Here is a picture of the number on the passenger side before I tried cleaning it off.

To me, it looks like a 8 -837 or a B-?37. Is this the date code? It does not make sense to me.

It looks like L.28.8---->Dec. 28th, 1968

The casting date is cast upside down.

that date would make the motor a 427 High horse motor as you mentioned it is a 4 bolt main block. Great motor
a 4 bolt main 427 for a 1969 Chevrolet means it came in a special car thats for sure.
