66 427 block

Good day friends.
I have a real nice 427 4 bolt block i am told belongs to a 66 corvette.
I bought it years ago thinking it was a 396 375 horse block I could use for my 66 chevelle.
But it turns out it is a 427 and not correct for my car. Since I'm not into corvettes i have no use for it.
So I figured I'd post it on some corvette forums and maybe find the guy who owns the car or a car it will work in. Here are the numbers. Can someone verify these belong to a corvette?

Looks like a digit's missing for the VIN . . .??? . . .it may be a "zero" (too faint) . . . if so, it's the 19th car built in the '66 model year. Cool.

According to the C2 registry this unit would have to be 194376S100519. Plugging in the the numbers of 100619 and 100419 it comes up with a birth date of 9/10/65 for 619 and 9/8/65 for 419.

That is if the registry birth date calculator is absolutely correct.

Yea there appears to be another zero before 19 but it doesn't show up in pics.

Neither of those works with an engine assembly date of September 9th, and that engine assembly date couldn't possibly show up in a '66 Corvette prior to VIN #600. Per the NCRS "Birthday Book", #419 was built on 9/10, #519 was built on 9/13, and #619 was built on 9/14.
