The 3970010 would be the right block and the V1129CKZ would be from a 77 Corvette, L48 180hp 2 bolt. The CKZ came with a manual trans.

The number below should end with the last 6 digits of your VIN. If the 5th digfit of your VIN is an "L", it's confirmed as originally the L48. If it's an "X", then it would have originally had the L82.
