All C3 Corvettes have fiberglass bodies, and if you're lucky, you can find C3s with stock 454s. That may be the stock 454. Can you see the stamped numbers on the pad in front of where the passenger head sits? It's just an extension of the deck the head bolts to.

The one-piece front end is after market, as well as a few of the other goodies. Rear body...heck, it doesn't look like much at all is from the original body.

Can you not get any information from the place or person you bought the car from?

I think there is more to this one. I would be checking the frame vin. Looks like a vert. conversion. And a title flip.

If this is in fact the correct vin, then it was the 13,870th built. From what I see, you would never know it is a 70. I don't see the links, and without int pics who knows for sure.
