Is this # off the front of the block???
It is easier to find out with # off back of block on top to right of distributer

DE letter code was used on 283 and 307 blocks:

Camaro 1969 307
Chevelle 1965 283
Chevelle 1966 283
Chevelle 1967 283
Chevelle 1968 283
Chevelle 1969 307
Impala 1958 283
Impala 1959 283
Nova 1964 283
Nova 1968 307
Nova 1969 307

Translate your date code and you can probably figure
out which one it is.......1968 is a dual year where both
were built.

if the motor is in a 62 then it would not be the original motor, 307 's according to my book only ran from 1968 thru 1973. alot of sbc chevy's in 62 were 283 and 327's

novas in 62 were a 6cyl only car so its obviously not the original motor the v8 wasn't put in the nova til 63
