1969 camaro L78 4 speed 396 block. JH code. 4 bolt mains. This has been completly gone thru..Casting # 3955272. Very rare. Put a real numbers block instead of a "CE" block or a regular 396. Bored out to a 427. Line bored, Cam Bearings. All numbers intact. $1500.00

These might help.
That sounds like a good value for that engine block.... if all stated is true....
That block has been kicking around the WA area for 10 years now. Was on ebay in 2003.
Just saw this on CL, not mine, located in Tacoma, Washington.
