Default Help with engine ID? C3?

I went to look at a short block yesterday that the seller claims is mid-year, but I can't find anything that matches up. I'm wondering if it might be C3 69 manual? For all I know it's out of a Camaro.

casting 3956618
vin pad-19N58?516/VO114HA

Thanks!

Here's what I can come up with so far:
http://www.nastyz28.com/spmenu.html

19N58?516

1 - Chevy
9 - 1969
N - Norwood Plant
58?516 - Production #

V0114HA
V - Flint
01 - Jan
14 - 14th day
HA - 1969 350 Man Trans 300HP 4BBL Carb Body: A F X

3956618
1969 / 350 cid / 250 Low HP / 300 High HP / 2/4 main caps / comments: cars

That's about all I can get

Have any idea what AFX designates? I would assume a vin originating from Norwalk would cancel out anything to do with a Corvette...?

A body, F body (Camaro), X body

Yes. A VIN from Norwood indicates Camaro/Firbird, and not Corvette. Corvettes were produced at St. Louis (S plant code) or Bowling Green (5 or B plant code).
