long story short, i got a 350 olds rocket, block # 395558 2 31290 (some # i found on the front right of the block #) Intake manifold # 411990 headers # 417754 RH
i looked for the engine Vin# and could'nt find it. from what i gathered these numbers put it between a 1968-1976, i would really like to to find out the exact year of the engine. Any help help here or letting me know how to get the info would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks in advance!

Oldsmobile engine ID; behind the timing cover, to the right of the oil filler tube, is a series of casting numbers and a larger number or letter. Head ID is even easier; at the front of the left head or rear of the right head is a large number or letter. HEADS; number identifies sb heads, letter identifies bb heads.
Block: 2=350 2A=260 2B=260 3B=350 w/windowed mains...lighter,weaker block 4A=403 4B=403 5A=307 6A=307 7A=307 w/roller cam D=diesel DX=diesel w/roller cam
Heads: SBO; 5=350--68cc 5A=350--68cc 6=350--70cc 7=350--69cc 8=350--79cc 10=260--57cc 2A=260--57cc 3A=350--75cc 4A=403--83cc 5A=307--67cc 6A=307--64cc 7A=307--64cc
BBO; all, 72-80cc A-J J=junk E=next to junk C=reportedly best flowing factory BBO heads all others are fairly close to same flow numbers, or so says reference
referenced from Joe Mondello's tech manual & Bill Travato's book "How to Build Max-Performance Oldsmobile V-8s"
