Thanks for all of the replies. I was under the impression that it was a #'s matching car when I purchased it. I don't know that it is the end of the world since this engine has 50 more HP than the original. I recently ordered some new Hooker headers from Jet-Hot so I hope they fit ok on this engine. Are there any major differences between this engine and the stock engine?

V0626CNU is a GM engine identification code.
V plant code for the Flint, Michigan, engine assembly plant. All Corvette smallblocks were assembled at Flint, but so were engines for other GM cars and trucks.
0626 calendar date engine was assembled, June 26th
CNU application suffix, generic Chevrolet passenger car. Unfortunely CNU is not a Corvette engine code.
The pad where this code is stamped should also contain a VIN derivative of the first car the engine was installed in. That number will contain a code for the vehicle assembly plant and from that you could determine where this engine came from.

Some Chevy boat. Something like a Biscane. I didn't even remember GM still using powerglides in 70, but I guess so. Could have been a Camaro or Nova, who knows.

In '70 engines were measured using SAE Gross hp and in '72 it was changed to Net, so it's probably around the same 
If you were led to believe that it was numbers matching, i'd be having a good **** and moan at the seller.
