KA heads typically indicate an original industrial or marine application, but they could have been installed on a block from any other application.
Here's where to look for the VIN pad info on the block. A marine block may have a different numbering scheme that what is shown below for automotive applications.

KA heads are 1973-76, primarily on marine engines. Motors that were originally marine/industrial installations will not have a conventional VIN derivative stamp but may have a different numbering scheme with an "L" as part of the stamp.

The OP found the answer himself in Post #3. That block is from a non-automotive application. Could be industrial, could be marine. Only engines originally installed in production cars got VIN derivative stamps. Olds sold a lot of motors for non-automotive applications.
