V8439294
V = V8 (V prefix drop in 1955 when engine number 1,000,000 reached)
843929 = sequential number, range for 1955 was 720,080 to 1,460,022
4 = Series 40/Special making it a 264
stamped in block 1933418 - are you sure this is correct because I939II94 looks more like the stamped engine serial number (Buick used a stamp for the 1's that looked like an I) plus the engine number can't end in an 8 because there was no series 80, so assuming I939II94 is actually the stamped engine serial number:
19391194
1939119 = sequential number, range for 1956 started at 1,460,023
4 = Series 40/Special making it a 322 w/ 2 bbl carb (only 322 made in 1956)
B9173692 (this is a Canadian built engine)
B = 322 with 2 bbl carb from Series 4400/Special
9 = automatic transmission
173692 = sequential number, range for 1956 was 167,001 to 182,000
