I Had a 1967 camaro rs with a factory 327 with camel hump heads. I noticed the post you have done here is this the stamp on the passenger side front head plate. Do you have the Numbers off the bellhousing ledge behind the distributor hole. Out of the information that i researched on my 327 if it starts with 37, 38 or 39 on that "cast number ",

also has engine decoder list


If you find a 327 from a couple of "ol' timers" that i talked to back east. They have told me that some of the "stamp" numbers on the front of the motor are not correct. The casting number and the snow flake will give you the best idea of the block. Hope this might help
