My uncle (the Dealer) and I replaced the RA-IV block on a Chicago Customer's car in 1970. The customer paid the dealership) would have paid about $350 for the SR Block. The Factory Rep came by and had the original numbers of the removed block stamped on the new block (as well as the SR) and the customer went down the road.
I thought that it was odd that the Engine had a Edelbrock intake and a Holley carb installed and the Factory Rep still covered the engine under warranty as it had about 1200 miles on the vehicle.
