I have a 65 coupe with a 350 swapped in that I'm trying to identify. It is a 350 (casting #3970010), but after that I'm stumped. The stamp on the ID plate is CE4292, with a larger 76 stamped seperately. It also has an unusual intake that has 2 seperate venturi holes on the drivers side, but one long opening on the passenger side, almost like it would mount an old Holley 3-barrel sideways, and no manufacturer or casting # that I can see. Any ideas?

I have a 3970010 block as well but there are no numbers on the pad
The only numbers is casted close to the oil filter and it says:
371 386 135N
Does that mean anything?

Thanks guys. I thought the CE was for crate engine, but wasn't sure. I'm glad the manifold was recognized - I had never seen one before. I'm going to leave it on until I get everything is cleaned up and fire the engine (been in storage for 26 years). The entire fuel system, tank to carb, had to be replaced - took me forever. Can't wait for warmer weather!
