a 270 casting 427 block is an early 69 casting..... must have waited a few months to do the conversion

270's were stopped in Oct 68 when the 512 block was introudced. This block is dated I 8 8 For Sept 8, 1968

Kinda hard to see but is that Tonawanda date March 20...built almost 6-1/2 months after casting?.
Well seasoned on purpose or the old first stocked, bottom of the pile and later out story!?.

Not to change the subject but, my old Gibb 427 car had a 270 block in it. I never even thought about it being the org. transplanted motor. The reason was I knew Ray Morrison car had a different # block so that's what I bought. The block I had was two days off from Ray's block. Heck maybe that motor was the org???
