I know this block well.
You have an extra 6 incorrectly in the block casting number.
Also the casting date should be the letter "I",not number 1,and the Tonawanda date is most likely T1002CGV,which would correlate with everything else.
This is a 1970 Big passenger car application 454/345HP,with a TH400.
I see this block in so many 1970 454 Chevelles lately,claiming them to be Original Numbers matching cars,that it's getting ridiculous.
