Hey Rich,
It's in the 1965-69 Chevy By The Numbers.
1969 350, 4 bolt main (but 2 bolt is possible). Available as a 300hp or 350hp in Corvette, Camaro, Chevy II, Chevelle & Passenger car. It was also used for the 290hp 302 in the Z-28.
It was used from August 1968 to approx. January '69.

The suffix HU only seems to come up as 255hp 350 backed up by a Powerglide in a passenger car application.

The casting number makes this block a good candidate to restamp for a Corvette.

Hope this helps,
Greg
