Default CJ or not?

Hi guys,
Just bought a block and was told it is a 428cj but all the tell tale signs are not there (that is what I get for trusting my fellow man over the phone). Here is what it does have....

Casting #- c7me-a

no "c" or "a" scratched into the back casting

Date code- 7J26

on the casting boss flat spot on the passenger side rear there is a stamped C.

on the casting boss flat spot on the passenger side front there is a stamped A.

on the casting boss flat spot on the drivers sid front above the oil filter boss there is a stamped 7F29V.

There are only 2 main web reinforcing ribs.

..that is it, anyone decipher it for me? I only seem to be able to come up with alot of conflicting info. I emailed the seller with my concerns and he contends that it is a CJ block and that I should do my homework. Well, I have been searching the net for awhile now and still have not found that says this is a CJ block.

Thanks for any help,
Dan
