No '69 98 came with a 350. The only engine offered was a 365 hp version of the 455.
My guess is this car has a 455 and the guy who brought it from Mississippi didn't know it.
Unless, of course, the engine was swapped at some point. Maybe someone wanted the 455 for another car which originally had a 350, like a Cutlass, and put the Cutlass engine in this car so it could be more easily sold.

+1 to all. 98s had the top-of-the-line engine, which in '69 was the 10.25:1 455 (okay, the Toro engine was always just a tiny bit hotter...).
You couldn't get a 98 with a smaller engine if you'd wanted to, because then it wouldn't have been a 98.
Pictures would, as always, help, uploading trouble or not.

The casting number at the oil filler is 395558. Based on this it is a '67-70 350. It is a 350 and not a 455, I have a 455 in my '69 Delta. They're easy to tell apart. May have been swapped at some point.

Darn right. Gramps would proudly tune up the car twice a year, and replace the points and condenser annually, placing the old parts in the boxes that the new parts came out of, and putting them back on the shelf in the garage, "just in case."

How about posting a photo of it? Sometimes what people think are build sheets aren't actually build sheets. This is especially true for your car as all 1969 98s were built in Lansing, and the Lansing plant is famous for being strict about not leaving build sheets in the cars. What you found might be more along the lines of something called a "broadcast card." Showing us what it looks like, even if you're only showing the piece you pulled out, will help.
#16
Yes, that is a broadcast card, and, you're right, it looks like hell.
But don't apologize. That's they way they often look after so many years. People who find these kinds of things more or less intact are the lucky ones.

NDM sent me these pictures to post:
They were about 6.5mb each, which would explain why they were a bit tough to upload.
I have a few notes on what I've observed:
NDK, if you want to get the engine number, it's here:
People will also be interested in the head numbers - in this photo it's a "7", I'd expect an "8" in your case:
Finally, I think that the guy from Mississippi who said it was his grandparents' car wasn't being entirely truthful.
This car has been around.

- Yup. Not a 455, definitely a 350, and by the looks of it about a '76 350
The blue paint looks original and it's got a late carb. - That car's a mess. Are you sure it runs, or is that just the sound of the mice living inside?
- When swapping engines, someone smashed the A/C plenum, then patched it with some sort of tinfoil insulation.
- The paper towel in the P/S pump is a nice touch.

Eric,
Thanks for the info. I looked in that exact spot on the block pad and there is no number there. It does run, surprisingly, pretty well. The guy I bought it from had a "shop" do the HEI conversion and install an alarm. Well the "shop" must have been one of his buddies weekend job. You are correct the Heads are 8's.

Eric,
There are no numbers on the oil filler tube. I power washed the engine to check for the numbers. The picts were after i washed it and degreased it. Before I washed it, there was no paint color visible.

I'll post the links without embedding them.
I really can't understand why they're not coming up.
