what is it

I bought this 327 small block chev back in the 70s its been under my work bench ever sence . I have no idea what it is the casting numbers are 3959512 the stamb on the front is CE7p28636. It is complete Motor Heads Intake Water pump. I hate to pull it apart so if you can help or have a idea let me know​

 

62-67 heavy walled raceing block

 

"I bought this 327 small block chev back in the 70s its been under my work bench ever sence". That must be some sort of record!

 

its a 62-63 327

 

How do you know its a thick cacking and could it be a four bolt main the date code is a 1970 block

 

CE is a counter engine (factory replacement engine), isn't it? So it could be a 1970 327....????

 

Lots of ???? on this motor looks to be a large journel crank but the block is machined for a road draft tube the paper work that came with the engine is not a lot of help whats it worth i have no idea

 

Sounds like it could be an oddball late production 327 made as a replacement engine.

Take it for what it is....it's not an original muscle car engine...

 

but its still new never fired

 

Do you have any pictures of it? Sounds interesting.

 

I will try to get some Today

 

I'm sitting on a similar 327 since 1975 or so. Small journal forged crank, I'd have to run the numbers to determine the pedigree of it. It looks comfy in the corner of my garage.. hate to disturb it.

I know how you feel but i would like to know for sure what i have

 

You can measure the cam by pulling a valve cover and a pair of rockers, then get busy with a dial indicator and degree wheel. If you have access to a bore scope you can peek at the bottom end through the oil drain plug to determine if main caps are 2 or 4 bolt. What casting number are the heads?

That's all I have to offer. I can't imagine one sitting under my bench that long, never fired.

 

Man the time flys by

 

I sold a 300 horse 327 in the early 70s .... maybe thats the one.



.... actually thats pretty cool ... but plan on a new gasket set ... the oldies have gotta be dried out by now.
