Small block chevy

I hope some one can help me identify this number. I know the
engine casting number is behind the head flange on drivers side.
I have a 71 Jimmy and trying to figure out what I have.

I can't see the number behind the drivers side head the firewall is
pretty close. But the front of the block passengers side has this number V0729THG anybody tell me what the VO and THG stand for ?

Thanks
Charlie
