Someone put a 69 mill in there?

Must have been a late 69 car with 70 grille and trim lol. Heck, I dunno....was told it was a 70 and I even saw the car and it looked like a 70 to me but who paid attention to those boats back then. I got the engine in the mid 70's. Still has a stock bore.

That would correct on a 68 Roadrunner engine

 

[PurpleBeeper]

Dutch is correct....68 or 69 "hi performance" 383's are like that

Might have been a block laying around a while, before it got assembled and stuck in a 1970 car. Might also have been a very early assembled 70, say June or July, for an August release? I'd be curious to see the vin on the block.
