Online GM parts dealers show it as discontinued...

That's possible, but if there is one in the system, those sites will usually do a search for it and that option didn't come up. If someone REALLY wants one, they would need to call a dealer and have them search the system.

I believe most of the Yenko blocks were used in Can-Am racing ..

It is not a 69 block.
Don had those Yenko blocks cast in the mid-70's.
GM did not let Yenko used the molds in 69 - the blocks were still in production.

You seem to have included a picture of your Trans Am's original Pontiac 400 cid engine casting number 481988 XX, which confuses matters.
