Cast in 1968, used in a 1969 vehicle. If there is a VIN on the oil pan rail then that will provide some more clues.

I bet the casting date is 8/30 rather than 9/30. It wouldn't be possible to cast the block and assemble the engine on the same date. So it was probably cast 8/30/68 and then the engine was assembled on 9/30/68 and placed in a 1969 model year car.
