There is a DZ engine for sale on Craigslist and the engine pad is stamped V1007DZ and the date code is difficult to read and the casting number is 3970010.
Could I have a second opinion that this is an October 1969 build date and not an October 1968?
I am asking because the seller also has a 3279 crankshaft, which I thought was 68 and very very early 69 DZ's and would not be correct for this block.
The 3970010 block wasn't around in 1968 so it has to be 1969.

Pad looks OK.
J89 block.
Here is an EARLY V1007DZ 386 block...
