Default 454 no engine numbers help???!!!

Hi, im new to the forum and in need of your help!!!

I have a 454 in my car and i dont think its the original engine. I would like to check this out but after stripping the engine down i can only find the following numbers.

1401544 casting number
11123FBK
2510
1762
GM15

Id like to find out as much as i can about this engine, like were it was made, its year of build, and what car it was built for.

There is no other numbers on the engine!!! nothing!!! i know there's supposed to be a number on the passenger side of the head on the machined area. But there is nothing here???? i think the head sbeen skimmed at some point and this has been ground off.

Really hope you can help
