[the mopar dude]

Cant read it all but begins with a 0 and ends with a 21

 

[Alaskan_TA]

0 indicates 1970 model year.

0 indicates 1970 model year.

Hope thats not a deal breaker for you.

0 indicates 1970 model year.

That block date indicate late 69 or early 70 ??

 

[the mopar dude]

The block was cast during the 69 model year, the 0 in the serial number indicates it went into a 70 model car. It would be date code correct for a late 69 or early 70.

The 1970 model year started August 1, 1969, but they did have to keep blocks in inventory for the new model year.

Sounds like this is just what you have been looking for.

How could a 1969 motor have a 0 in it if it's in a 1969 model from the factory? My 69 cuda vin is BH29P9 the last 9 indicating 1969. I've never heard of a motor with a 0 in it if it were in a 1969 car. Not saying it didn't happen, just seems impossible to explain, because a 0 would be 1970. So with that said it really wouldn't be date code correct.
