It may have started life as a 62 Fuel Injection engine. Post all the numbers you see and also confirm it’s an 870 block by posting casting number from back.

And, whatever you do don't use any form of abrasive to clean that stamp pad. A cloth and lacquer thinner and a lot of patience and elbow grease.

You are mis-reading the first digit. It is the letter S, not a 2.
