I looked at the block, it's within an acceptable range for your car, in general a bit early but acceptable. The price however, is rediculous IMO, good bare pre 69 blocks don't normally bring over 3-4K
I have noticed several '66 cast blocks go for between $4800 & $5100 on e/bag.

FWIW...I agree that is most likely out of a 71. Matching the VIN to the engine assembly date may help. for 69, VIN 219*** would have an SPD of 212 - this would be before your engine assembly for 70, VIN 219*** = 410, again before your engine assembly. For 71 VIN 215*** = 512 and 225*** = 602. So the VIN range and your engine assembly date fit best with a 71 model. This leaves GTX's, Road Runners, Super Bees and Charger R/Ts as possible donors.

1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs. Over 2,000 thanks to you!

1966 motors are very common, you should be able to come up with what you want. 1971 cars usually have Jan, 1970 cast blocks or 1969 cast blocks there are some other dates that were put into 1971s also. The 1970 blocks were put into the most of the a cars and the very late cars got the 1969 blocks. There are exceptions but this is a generally what happened in the 1971 Hemi Build.

Attention all: talk about a small world, Roger here (last reply) is the gentleman that has the actual block for my 1966 Belvedere II Hemi car (bought it off the second owner of the car). I finally chased him down today after many hours of internet searching to find he was the last posting on this trail. What a wonderful Mopar world we live in - you would never find Chevy people doing this!!!!!
It sounded like he had no idea there was any connection to your car when he made that post?? Talk about finding something right in front of you. Unbelievable. And berrost has a whopping TWELVE posts and runs into this!!
Did the block go from California to North Dakota? No hopefully back to California?
Congratulations.
