sorry, i tried to look up a few of the numbers for you in my '53-67 NCRS Corvette spec guide but couldn't find ANY of the numbers.
someone who has more complete info on Chevy part numbers needs to chime in as I can't see these items coming from any Vette listed in the book. I was looking for both the intake and the carb numbers.
sorry

btw, i may be very wrong here, but on the block you have a c2670 number which I would read as a possible casting date of March 26, 1970.

A 3512 block with that casting date is from a 1970 454/390hp, and the 852 intake is from a '68 427/435hp. The carbs were never used in production - most likely service replacements (the date stamps on the air horns will show that).
