The block casting number was used on 302'2, 327's and 350's. Given the dates I'd say it is a 350 since the 302's and 327's made using that block list as 1969 only.

The heads also list a 350 heads, some could have been used on a 71-72 LT1. A smog head for sure given the date and the 75 cc size, but pretty decent heads nonetheless.

I've no idea what the other codes may indicate.

Thanks. 350 is much better than 307
