Like Mark noted,I too was looking @ the uniformity of the parallel lines.
Also looks like there's a character behind the letter P,but that might be the camera lighting.

Here's another "C" for comparisons.

And yet another "W" to compare. Notice the patina on this pad and how suttle the broach marks are, they look very bright on your's Mark. Keep digging.

Adding marxjunk 2 pics under the previous 3 to compare easier.
From here the W in Mikes stamping looks much taller & narrower in the center section,than marxjunk W which looks shorter there & wider too.

After all that's been said here,try running the VIN# through George Z. @ Vintage Vehicle Services.
If it doesn't hit,there's no charge.
Reason I suggest this to you is I have some very early 1970 Chevrolet Canadian dealer ordering guides showing the L-89 Aluminum head L-78 Nova mentioned.
I always took it as unrealistic because it was printed August 1969 and it soon vanished within the following months,but your car got me thinking about it again.

Here's another example of a "W" from my '69 L78 Nova

I think its fair to say that the 'W's are varied, so the issue with the L89 block in question is probably more about the 'C' and the broach marks....

George does charge a minimum fee for running vin#'s. I just got this form on Wednesday morning directly from George.

Thought you may want to know about this.
