Help with engine ID?

the code on my 1970 supreme says 35m32191442 the last number 2 sits side ways. the last 6 does not match the last 6 of my vin so I'm assuming the engine has been swapped, but what is this engine out of and what year?

The 3 stands for Oldsmobile. The 5 stands for the year, 1975. The third is a letter, M, that stands for where it was built. M is Lansing Michigan. I believe the rest of the numbers match numbers in the VIN of the car the motor came from.
If you have a '70 your engine number should start with 30.

The VIN derivative should only be nine characters long, so it appears that someone has added numbers to yours.
