according to my book,3970010 was a 327 if made in 1968 and a 350 from 69-79 . if you can get the date code we might find more info.

The date code should be in the same area you found that number and will start with a letter and be followed by two,three,or four digits.

The 010 block is a high nickel content block and can be either 2 or 4 bolt mains. I prefer these blocks for rebuilds over the newer ones.
