What is the number cast on the heads? It's located on the bottom corner.

i found a web site Olds FAQ -- Blocks that had every thing for this motor,,their #6 heads and the number on the block is 395558 2, pulled the intake and heads and noticed a recessed pocket in middle of deck, looked like a drain hole, but it also had ruff edges like it was chipping away. also their were shavings on deck and oil pan, checked all cylinder walls nothing gouged all looked good but cant figure it out.should i check the cam and crank bearings, oh it wasnt metal shavings more gritty didnt look like glitter

Yeah Its might be a 70' block. I'm pretty sure my block has the same number they all came from 68-72' cars but I could be wrong. The website you found is probably the best out there.
