The engine is a 400 from 1967, 1968, or 1969. The casting number for 1967 is 9786133. The casting number for 1968 and 1969 is 9790071.
The date code J258 is Oct 25 1968. So the block would have been used in a 1969 car. 330 horse power.
The intake looks like a stock intake but I can not clearly see the number. It looks like it starts with an 8? Please post the number.

That's it, so even though the block was cast late in 68 and the intake is 68 not 69, it is a 68, 335 horse power, 400 engine. The original engine in 63 would have been a 389.
