Default Engine ID numbers

Can anyone ID an engine with the following stampings:

V0812TXB

C7F300158.

C7F as me stumped, the rest I have found, more or less. This is a 3970010 block if that helps.
Thanks from a C4 guy.

The Vin prefix is some kind of truck prefix C stands for Chevy Truck, 7 is the body style code possibly motorhome F is for Freemont assembly plant
