You must have a lot of info at your fingertips for all,the advice you guys give on this site. I did some more digging and have discovered that you are right it is a 69 pass car block with 72 heads. I will pull the motor this winter to detail under the hood and paint and detail the motor. When I pull the oil pan off I am hoping to find it is a 4 bolt. Thanks again for all your time and info. I have always enjoyed this site for its friendly folks and their infinite knowledge. Over the years I have turned other Canadians,who are first gen owners, on to this site and they find it amazing as well. 

Aha! That explains it then. Cheers.

I am sorry Kurt. I didn't recall posting that. My bad.😒

Sorry my bad. I didn't recall saying that. My apologies.

I am still a bit confused here.  191037134 sets up as this?
   1= Oshawa plant
   9= 1969
   1= ? I am unclear on this digits meaning                                                                             
   037134= block serial number, although we are not sure as to why it begins with an 0?

I hope I am following you Ed, and Warren.  Am I close here? Thanks.                                                                             

So this is a 69 block made and assembled in Oshawa and not St Theresa Quebec? Please post any info on here that you get from Warren, Ed. I guess my mystery is not completely solved as of yet. Thanks again for the education on small,block id's everyone. Eagerly awaiting any more tidbits.  Jim.

Thank you very much for everyone's help in identifying my block. The knowledge on this site is amazing. 😊

Thanks again Gary. Where do you live. It says 4 am in our correspondance

69 z28 rs you have been a big help tonight. Thanks for every thing everyone. Now I have to figure out how to determine if this is a 327 or a 350. Would the stamps on the heads tell me this?

Maybe the head stamp numbers will tell me 327 or 350?

That is interesting that it may be from Canada. But why is it stamped 191 and not 1n1? Could it be the  9 was stamped instead of an N?

Anyone have any idea what this block is?

This is the best photo I could send ! Help

I am not computer savy enough to post a pic on here Bert. The stamp on the block in front of the pass side head reads.   1910?71?4.  It looks like 1910371?4. That is about the best I can do.

I will have to find this book at a book store Steve. Access to Chevrolet by the numbers is not available on line.
