Default Can anyone identify my engine numbers?

I picked up a 350 at the wreckers Friday to rebuild over the winter. I paid $100 for the engine. I disassembled today to find it is a 4 bolt main. After using Morcom website I find I have a 75 350 (3970010). My heads are 79 - 85 vintage (462624) and the vin is V0913TYZ. OK, the heads don't belong to the block but a have a set that are already done (333882).

My question what does the 6930 on the cam mean?
I have B557 stamped on the contecting rods. Any good?
Are the heads worth keeping (462624)?

Should I replace the cam? Any other suggestions?

do the rods have pink paint and is there a dimple on the rods? If yes, then you have the pink rods and are the ones to have. As for the other Q's u have, go to the Factory Correct Restoration site, for your answers
