Given the hanky panky that was going on in those days, I thought I knew what numbers were traceable vs. those that weren't so much. I quit 2 weeks before the owners were arrested.
I have owned a classic vette more recent than you were working on them, so that's probably why I remembered better.

Decoding a Corvette’s V8 Casting Numbers and Engine Stamps
Quote:
Beginning in 1960 the stamp included the serial number of the car it was installed in. The 327 engine in my Corvette contains the following number sequences: 6122891 F0518HE. Decoded, the first sequence is 6 for the year (66) and then the VIN sequence of 122891.
Here my old heap - 1971
