Right Head - GM-2?-3890462 I276


I think the motor came out of a '68 corvette. Any help would be appreciated!

Any estimated value?

Casting number shows use in 1967 model year; I did not see anything for 68.

1967 3892657 302 290 290 2 Z-28, small journal
1967 3892657 327 210 350 2 car & truck
1967 3892657 350 295 295 2 Camaro

Check the suffix; I did not see any "EA" suffix after 1965, and that would not have had a "V" as the start of the stamp (would have been Fxxxxyy).


I assume you may have gotten the numbers out of order for the left head:

1967-69 3917291 302,327 2.02 1.6
1968-69 3917291 350 1.94 1.5 63.305

1967 3890462 302,327 2.02 1.6

VO316EA - 1967 Chevelle 327/275 with a manual transmission assembled on March 16th, 1967 at the Flint, Michigan plant.

How'd you miss that one Eric???

:D

Oh man... I'm going to blame it on the Percoset....

That also explains why there's no partial VIN. A 68 Vette motor would have had a partial VIN on the pad.

Thanks guys. It was being offered to me complete carb to pan for $1500 but I already have a couple of 327's, 350's, 427's and 454's on engine stands at the shop so unless it was something special I wasn't interested, and......looks like it's nothing special.

Thanks for the help. I looked up a couple of engine decoding sites on the web and was getting multiple answers for the numbers. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
