Default motor identify

I need help with what motors I have. I bought a project and it came with two motors. I have tried to look the numbers up on the internet and I believe they are both 327 motors. But is there any way to know if they are Corvette motors? Both have the two hump 461 heads. The firs one has FO2O5HA stamped on the smooth pad on the front of the block. In the rear it has casting # 3782870 with a date code ( B 4 5 )
The heads #3782461 Date code ( L 3 4 ) and ( L 10 4 ) The intake # 3882858 Build date ( E 5 7 ) I am very new to chevys but the harmonic balancer on both motors do not have a bolt that holds it on that I can see. Maybe I am missing something here. The second motor has two sets of numbers stamped on the pad on the front of the block # 18K198702 and T090IEE Both have the ram horn exhast manifolds but the number are rough and I can not make out all of them. One set of exhaust dump streight down and one set angles back to the rear. The intake on the second motor has # 374898 with date code ( H 1 8 ) Any help would be great.

Niether is Corvette. HA engine is 65 250 hp manual trans full size car, and EE engine is 68 275 hp powerglide in Nova, Chevelle, and Camaro.

All Corvette Idents start with F, and not T.

Thanks, Are the dampners pressed on? It's hard to believe they stayed in place.

Only the high performance small-blocks (solid-lifter engines and L-79's) had a tapped hole in the crank snout and a balancer bolt; all the rest (about 30 million of them) were simply pressed-on.
