oregonjoe Apr 7th, 06, 04:35 PM What would a short block with casting number 3782870 and heads numbered 461 be in way of candidate for rebuild/build up?? Thought to be a 327 from 64 vette? No distributor,carb,manifold. Any info and ballpark value would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe JohnZ Apr 7th, 06, 06:29 PM 870 block was used in Corvettes from '62-'65, 461 heads from '61-'66. :thumbsup: oregonjoe Apr 8th, 06, 11:08 AM Owner said it has been in storage for 30 years. "Standard bore,probably needs rings,bearing,seals" what would I look for as to performance components or to verify the engine components at a particular hp level. I assume that there were variations of performance levels in 327 vett engines? Any thoughts? JohnZ Apr 8th, 06, 01:22 PM The exact configuration (car line usage and hp level) is shown by the 2-letter suffix at the end of the engine assembly date stamp on the front pad. :thumbsup: oregonjoe Apr 8th, 06, 08:25 PM John, any reference you could recommend for code analysis? I appreciate your replies but don't want to be a pest. Next up is 3914660 vin 18L161687 TO603HN looking for performance core to rebuild in moderate h.p. driver for 67 rs coupe. Thanks again 68SSCamaroinKS Apr 8th, 06, 10:05 PM Correct me if I am wrong guys but the 18L161687 looks to be out of a 67 Camaro to me. I don't have my book with me right now but if in fact it is I would go with that in your car. oregonjoe Apr 8th, 06, 10:26 PM 68SS The first info request was thought to be a vette engine circa 1964, which John seemed to comfirm as reasonable, apparently I need addition info from the block on that one. The follow up e mail, with vin, etc. is another engine, 327 "hi pro" out of "possibly a 60 something camaro or nova". Where do you guys find the code reference info( other than your recollection-amazing!!!)? As noted I am looking for a era correct performance 327 to rebuild and put in a 67rs. Not looking to build a screamer, just a solid, representitive of the day, stock performance 327 driver. This site is great, responses are very fast.
