That's not the VIN, that's the casting #. 14093638 is a common 350 one-piece rear main seal roller lifter block, could be from a truck, f-body, Vette, Caprice, etc.
083 heads and 2-bolt mains were used for the f-body TPI engines. If it was all from the same engine, it's probably a TPI.

Depends upon your definition of "work".
Would it run? Sure. Would it be a good combination? Probably not.
Why not use the whole 350 engine?
