Post more Pictures.
That looks like 0-294550 427 CanAm
But someone has modified the block.
Newer threaded Frost plugs and has been machined on the outside of the block.

Now again, According to Guinn, The machining on the side of the block could very well be a fingerprint of what chassis it was in. Each team machined the blocks however they needed for clearance and fitment issues. For what that's worth anyway. Will post more soon.

These blocks are not worth the crazy prices as ZL1 blocks that have the VIN number. Maybe someone wants to build a ZL1 Copy and are interested.
They are some Corvette guys that like these Engines.
Sadly, if the casting numbers are ground off

I’m curious if you have learned any further information on this block? It appears that I have what seems to be the exact same block. It is very possible that mine might have a connection to the McLaren team out of Livonia area. Mine has 454-02 and 23 stamped on the oil pan lip closest to the oil filter area. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

This is the front engine pad area. It appears that the block has had some history. I wonder if the initials A.C. are known to anyone.
