Re: 1969 Nova 396-375 HP
Hi Mike and welcome to the site. The 272 block was used from sept 68 thru june of 69. You are correct about the holes for the external oil cooler, these indicate the 4-bolt hi-po block. There are some engines that have an alternate vin stamp near the oil filter though I have never seen one on a Nova. Try to get the casting date from the block and the heads and see how they line up compared to the build date of the car. Any paperwork with the car? Hope this helps, please feel free to e-mail or call 518.799.2303.
