Help id 455 block

Newbie to the Olds world - have a recent purchase 1970 442 and trying to see if my block is original. See pics attached. The X130674 does not match my VIN but could this be a machine shop stamp? I thought a VIN stamp had more digits

Looks like a factory stamping that wasn't stamped evenly.

X is the Kansas plant, they built the big cars and not A bodys.

^^^This. Fairfax, KS to be exact. Fairfax only built B-body cars in that timeframe, so this block came out of a Delta 88.
