If genuine and the original car is still around, hopefully whoever has the 1970 Nova w/ this Vin finds this!.

"...I have a complete early 1970 model year L78 engine for a Nova. Date stamp J 3 9, October 3, 1969. Block number 3969854. First stamp code is TI007CKO, Tonawanda October 7 402/375 HP engine. Second stamp code is IOW155901, Willow Run, MI assembly plant for Nova which assembled them from 1965-1972. Never been bored! Matching heads 3964291 with dates I 10 9, Sept 10 and I 12 9, Sept 12. Matching manifold 3963569. This engine is complete with the original 11:1 pistons, lifters, push rods, timing chain, 750 CFM carburetor, MSD electronic distributor, and headers. I beefed up a 350 transmission to a stage 2 to keep up with this engine. I drove it hard and was running strong when I tore it down. Is willing to negotiate for a new/rebuilt running and fully functional 383 stroker or the highest offer.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE

That car probably already has it's "numbers matching, date code correct, born with" engine already. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif
