Does it have the thick main webs like 230 blocks are supposed to have? Can you show a pic?
If the pictures I've seen are of the thick main web blocks, then it looks like it does have them.

And no stampings on the oil pan rail.
the casting date tells you it's a thick web block , any 230 block before a certian date , I think it's 10/17/71 ??? is thick web.
There would be no stamps in that location, at least I have never seen it on anything built for the 69 and later model year on a Wedge block.
The VIN stamp you are looking for on the oil pan rail is on the SIDE of the block , pass side , just above the oil pan rail.

I've never actually looked for a stamping on the oil pan rail before either, I saw it mentioned in the tech archive here http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/motor/36.html and figured I'd give it a look. The VIN pad is definetely bare, no signs of anything ever stamped there.

If there is no VIN there you can be 90% sure that was not the original block in the car it came from , that is why it didn't go with it .
I never saw that page , glancing over it quickly I saw one error , I'm sure there are more .
