Default Help With engine block ID

I'm trying to find out what engine is in my 74. I've looked all over the net for this block code IIHN. The serial number was stamped very lightly and can not be completely read. The block casting number is 3932388 that I can find as a 69-76, 350, 165-300 hp. Sorry but I don't have permission to attach a photo yet.

II is the last two digits of the date code, ie, V12IIHN, which would be the 11th day of the month. 3932388 is a 69 only block and HN indicates a 1969 full size passenger car 350/300 with a Turbo 350. This "should" be a 4 bolt main block by the way.
