Looks like some "hanky panky" went on when someone stamped the VIN # . Looks like somebody tried to stamp an M code over the L . Looks like an Oct 5 finish date , about 5 months before the 69 1/2 M code RM/WM cars . I don't know, it just plain looks fishy.

From what I remember it was from a 69 GTX, but something does not make sense.
RS23 is the 1969 GTX prefix.
The only Sixpack / Six Barrel cars in 1969 were the Super Bees & Road Runners with the A12 package.

9A144278 was built on or about 10/10/68 ... so the 10-5 makes sense appears to have been an original 440 4bbl engine from a GTX  maybe

I looked at it more closely last night using a jewelers loop. The fifth digit is an L. it appears the block was struck by a tool or something which left two large scratches. You can see they are not parallel. The bore is stock and the pistons appear stock. Maybe someone transplanted the guts from another motor years ago.Question, should I try and remove the two scratches? 
Do you have the car it belongs to ? if not the point of removing them would be ?
There is a 15 year gap between you aquiring it and it being originally being built , ANYTHING is possible .

That looks like an upside-down 5, not a 2, in "HP2". They must not have had a full set of numbers.

No it's typical of the 2 I have seen on that pad , look at the 5 , it's not even close .
