Welcome to CHR!
Don’t think you've got a ’69 302 as they were all DZ codes. Other factory 302 codes are: MP, MO, MI, CAN and CNB. I’m not familiar with KU other that it being a rear end code for 1967 Chevelles. Could you post the entire number and maybe a picture?

You might consider running an ad in Hemmings Motor News and see if you get any bites.

Okay here's the decipher:
V = Assembled in Flint, MI
08 = August
26 = 26th day of the month
WH = was used in 1966 for 283 Powerglide transmission, 1968 for 307 manual transmission and in 1969 for 350 manual transmission.
WH suffix was only used for truck - never in a production car. If it has a 3.875" bore x 3.00" stroke it is a 283. A 3.875" x 3.25" is a 307 and a 4.00" bore it is a 350.
Thank you!!! Looks like a "dime a dozen" block!!!
But did they ever cast a 4 bolt main in a 283 or a 307?
No - if you have verified it's a 4 bolt, it's from a 1969 350 truck.
I did'nt think so.. Again, thanks!!!!
There is a automatic transmission that came with it that had a "d42" stamped on it. Do you know what that means??? Sorry to wear ya out here!!!
