All original 429 Find: CJ is cast into the lifter valley

A wrecking yard find........ 1970 429 2v complete motor w/ c-6 trans.. Paid $250.00.Recently I performed a teardown inspection. 1st step was intake removal, found the letters "CJ" cast in the lifter valley. Is this block special? I pulled the oil pan as well... 2 bolt mains. I'm curious as the motor is in mint condition AND standard bore too. YEAH!
