    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?

    Regards,
    Glenn

    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.

    No - if you have verified it's a 4 bolt, it's from a 1969 350 truck.
