Another corvette/Z-28/327??????

Found this today, thought I would give it a look over and as usual it followed me home. My health hasn't been the greatest lately, but like most everyone else here with the "save the old stuff syndrome" what could I do? Any thoughts? Haven't had time to check any number except the casting 3892657 = 1967 327

 

Worth $250 per ton as s**** iron so if it's 600 pounds you could get $75 for it and china can then build something VALUABLE

 

Hi, whats the numbers on the pad in front of the right cyl head on the block? Lippy

 

Tried to load more pics. but only 7 came up, anyway oil pan.

 

Haven't gotten that far yet, haven't even got it out of my truck yet. Greasy pile of cast iron...

 

That would make alot of toasters.....

 

Looks like a set of spark plugs and you'll be good to go.

 

Damn I need that ****tershield for my 55.

 

And an oil filter...

 

I'll probably put it in the cl***ified's when I get some time. Feeling old and slow lately.

 

Hell I may go 76 dollars on the Ansen ****ter shield myself.

here is a clue, I can't see the intake from where I sit but if that it has an ansen beefed bellhousing it is real likely that it is not a stock engine. So numbers are just numbers and say what it may have been at one time.

The oil pan is interesting, I am trying to place it but my picture library in my brain is currently not connecting with the technical data.

D'oh while I am thinking about it of you decide to part it out I would be interested in the oil pan, I'll just about bet of you get inthere and look you'll find a trap door and maybe even a windage tray.

 

I was noticing the pan also. Heads too. Wrong valvecovers though.

 

Looks like the 6qt. vette oilpan. My ansen bell was missing the bottom so I made my own. Someone had a complete one for sale for I think $500. Nice find on the motor!

 

I get 302 or 327 Z-28 camaro One way to tell,...get that number.

 

You know the funny thing about this engine is a guy got there before I did and wanted just the heads 462's and the owner said all or none, he walked so I jumped in right behind him and I pulled the plugs while the owner rotated the engine to be sure all the pistons rose to the top by hand since the crank isn't drilled from what I could feel through the crud.

 

Corvette oil pan,corvette lh exhaust manifold ( cant see the right side), corvette alternator pulley and brackets, corvette water pump, double hump head castings... All parts that can be bolted on to any small block !
Small journal motor evidenced by the road draft tube hole and the cannister to spin on oil filter conversion..
67 327 maybe corvette ?? need the stamped info from the right front pad to make positive ID.
I would build it regardless of what it came from... Cool combo !

Hmm...interesting. Double humps, thin damper...been awhile, but is that oil pan of the Nova variety? Checking the p***enger side pad will tell the tale. Whatever it is, that ****tershield suggests they were wingin' it up pretty good, or planning too at least.

 

Thanks, just at the right place at right time. I too was surprised to see the bottom on the bell. The location of the ball stud for the manual seems in a weird position to me?

 

Casting date is a little hard to read but last number appears to be an 8. By that casting date, it is not a Corvette motor. That block # was only in 66 & 67's. Maybe a Camaro motor.

 

Thanks Dave, I noticed the alt. pulley right off, I will look at the pad to see what it says. They sure let it get dirty that's for sure.

 

Hey ****** the bell probably weighs 76 pounds....

 

I will check the casting date to see. It's been 30 years since I messed with one of these older sbc, with life and everything else that comes with it.

 

G'day, Oil pan looks like the over the counter hp version for non power ***ist steering. If it was a stock Corvette pan there would be more room at the front for the ram to hydraulic ram to fit. As Mr. Porkn****** said, you should find a nice trap door in the pan and a nice windage tray.

With the ****tershield and the pan, the plugged road draft, it looks like someone had used really good parts to build a hot rod motor. The small balancer also seems a bit odd or out of place with the general scheme of the motor.

vetteracer, thanks for the info. I can't wait to check it out to see what is inside.

 

Maybe they are too big for the HAMB? did you try resizing them?

 

Not yet I'll try, Thanks for the info.

 

Nuta..check your pm..
sorry it took so long to reply...wife been in the hospital, been hanging out in her room !

My book shows 3892657 as '64-'67 327, p***enger cars and trucks.

 

I looked for the engine I.D. code on the front pad and the code is gone from the engine being decked long ago, but I did find the date code Aug. 29 1966 so I'm guessing an early 1967. I am going to tear it down this week to see if I can find anymore info on it, in the least hopefully it will be rebuildable.

 

No problem Dave, family first. Hope she gets well soon, take care.
