I think you'll find that block number is actually 2468130 which makes it a 383. If it doesn't have the machined flat pad on top of the block, on drivers side front with either E or F 440 stamped on it look for a angled machined pad just under the distributor and if it's a 1970 383 it'll be stamped F 383 or E for 69and so on.
