From a duplicate thread:
Unfortunately, in 1970, the VIN did not indicate the specific engine that came with the car (other than it was a V8, like all C3s)
https://corvettec3.ca/vin.htm
Engine suffix code CTG is a base 300 hp 350 SBC that came with an automatic transmission.

There should be a partial VIN stamp on the engine pad next to the code that you listed. The last 6 digits should match the last 6 digits of your VIN.

Your serial number (09240) indicates it was completed May 15, 1970. (https://www.c3registry.com/index.php)
Your engine was assembled April 13th (0413).
They seem to go together fairly well - maybe a week or two wider than most early C3s, but I've never compared other Spring 1970 engine to car dates. Perhaps the '69 strike and new model year affected this sort of thing into 1970.
1972 was the first year engine codes were put into the VIN.
