The last Muncie case was the 3925661, the casting was used the last quarter of 1969 for 70-74. The “661” is considered the strongest factory GM case. It's very similar to the 660 case, It was used primarily with the 26-spline and larger 32-spline output-shaft , they were beefing things up since the 454 engine was introduced for 70, although there seems to be a overlap from 1969 to 1970, with both of these cases.
But cases are often swapped rather than being repaired, the best way to determine if you have an M20, M21, or M22 is to simply look at the gears. Without removing the sidecover you can look at the input shaft and check for identification grooves cut into the spline, your cars a 71 lt1 of which 1949 were made and in 71 they only made 130 Corvettes with m22s.

you can not tell a M22 RELIABLY from the outside. Unless he pulled the side cover and inspected the gears you cant tell. THe cut lines on the input shaft arent reliable for a M22 any longer. What does it sound liike when you drive it?

well, thats a good reason to believe its a M22, next time its out just pop off the side cover and take a pic of the gears. Ive rebuilt and changed gears and gear ratios inside the cases before so the case numbers dont tell the story of whats currently inside them....but they will tell you about the cluster shaft size which is the important part by the build date

After the assembly date stamp there will be either a letter A B or C. Which letter is stamped on it

The CC# stamped transmissions with the five digit number accompanying it on the transmission case are typically warranty replacement transmissions.
Odds are, something happened to your car's transmission while it was still under warranty and GM replaced it. Absent any additional information, that would be my guess.
