Yes, but, apart from the partial VIN and the upper pad markings, there is also supposed to be a serial number on the engine block.

It should read something like, for example:
PM44030280025

Where PM is the Mound Rd. plant
440 is displacement
3028 is date code for 11/11/1969
0025 is 25th engine made that day.

This is supposed to be on the Left side, rear of block, near oil pan flange; per the 70-71 parts book.
This isn't a very clear description; it doesn't say whether it's on the side, bottom, or rear face of block.

A picture would help, but, as I said, I've never seen one.

The only place left to look is under the oil pan flange on the bottom of the block.
