There is a pad(the pad is part of the block) on the engine in front of the passenger side head that will have a code and VIN number. If that number matches the VIN of the car, then the engine will be numbers matching to the car. If the engine in that car has been rebuilt the stamping may be gone altogether. Sometimes when an engine is rebuilt the block is decked and if it is decked far enough those stampings will be removed. The VIN of a car is also on the firewallunder the heater box, on the top of the subframe, and on the transmission. Beware though, many people will restamp these parts to match the vehicle they are in. Factory stamps where done as a gang(all one huge stamp) and by hand one digit at a time. Which means it is almost impossible to tell if something is restamped or not. On that particular car, if it has a 350, there is a good chance it is not numbers matching. I believe that in 69 the only way to get a 350 from the factory was an SS car.
