I picked up a 1968 ss/rs Basket cass a few years back. It’s been sitting in the back of the garage now for a too long. I am slowly pulling all the parts I need together. The original engine is gone. It is a 4 speed car with a Muncie and 12 bold rear end. My plan is to put a 396 in it. Looking for as close to original as I can find. It will not be a vin matching block obviously. She will be groto blue if I go back original. I’d prefer lemans blue but we will see. Looking for guidance here. I believe the block casting number should be 3916323 or 3935440. What about the heads?

I believe the 2 year warranty was in effect then so if you go with a CE block you can go with
3916323
3935440
3955272
3969854
maybe several others from 68 to 70 years I just came across a late 69 402/375hp CE motor on Craigslist just another option to think about.
