The block casting number will be a maximum of 8 digits long so something is not right with your number. They can be pretty hard to read sometimes. Maybe take the wire brush to it and try again.

Check behind the PS head, above the oil filter for the casting number.

If you want to find out what kind of block it is you need to get the number off the back of the bellhousing.

K0913 C2R
K = St. Catherines, Ontario
09 = September
13 = 13th
CR2 = 1975 350 Chevelle

The other numbers are a partial VIN, which apparently won't match your truck
