What engine is correct for this '73 Vette?

A friend asked me to find out what engine would have been original for his '73 Corvette. The VIN is 1237J3S431073. Your help is appreciated.

Have your friend to check with the Corvette Collectors Club (?) and they can tell him how and where to get a copy of the build sheet for his car that will tell him exactly what engine, transmission, differental gear, accessories, etc. the car had when it rolled off the line in Bowling Green

True - the first Bowling Green produced Vette didn't roll off the line until June 1, 1981
