1969 DZ ENGINE BLOCK 19N651239

I thought I was finding the original engine to my friend's '74 Z/28 today, but it turned out to be a '69 DZ engine. I looked over the engine quickly to find that it looks good overall. It's been bored .030 over, has correct '69 Z TRW pistons, and a 400 cubic inch crankshaft. The production code is V0519DZ and looks like a legit stamp to me. I'll post photos later. The engine casting # is 3970010 and the casting date is 5-13-9. I hope to re-unite this engine with the original car.

If it has a 400 crank, it doesn't likely have correct 69 Z pistons.   Would have had to use a REALLY short rod to get things where they belong.

Because you posted the partial vin, assuming it is stamped on the rough area down by the oil filter.  Is that correct?
Pics would help.
