sigh...350 olds.
I understand that some people may be relatively new to the internet world and might not be able to utilize searches effectively.
This site has such a wealth of information on it.

395558-2 is a ROTM (run of the mill) 350 block casting. The 7A heads are consistent with a 1972 motor. Could be the original. The VIN derivative is often hidden by the PS pump bracket.
