No problem. Im pretty versed on the BBC and straight 6 (230, 250,292). Sounds funny, but I have never owned a SB. Always been big blocks or straight 6. Although did have a 48 roadmaster w/straight 8 when I was a kid. The nice thing about that casting #, is that it is one of the few 396 blocks that can be bored to a 427. So it is a desireable block either way. As far as I know, there is no way to tell by block alone if its corvette/impala/chevelle. If you know the heads are original(casting #'s), that may lend some help. Im no help on the suspension stuff though...sorry, but looking could.
