Default 69 Judge Ram Air IV block

In search of the original block for my 1969 Gto Judge Ram Air IV. The car was sitting in the Metro area of Minnesota years ago. Unfortunately, minus Engine, 4-speed M-20 and 4.33 rear end ..Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I would also be interested in Year correct block, tranny and rear end if anyone has them.

A dealer I bought Pontiac parts from had a 70 RA IV GTO ( not sure if it was as judge but silver)in for service on blown 400. They got a new SR block. Under warranty. Parts man gave me the WW block. It was given to Jim Miller for roundy round GTO. We traded parts the block was fixed. I had an SD455 block that got reunited with the original car,vin matched. You never know. Good luck.

It's been awhile, can someone please refresh my memory on how to match a block up with a vin? I see the EU number on the pad below the head and the "ww" code below that, but where does the vin or partial vin come into play? Sorry, but I am drawing a blank

That block would have a partial VIN on it, lower part of block passenger side.
Close to where the timing cover mounts.


Looks like 20R157868

Some VINs were also stamped along the passenger side towards the outer machined edge of the blocks. The Atlanta plant is known for stamping in this location.

If you are also in Minnesota area where the car was - I have a second hand lead on a guy in that geographic with a complete 4.33 rear , but its a 1970 model unit .
And of course it isn't on the cheap at all either.
