Hey guys I have some engine numbers I need help with. I believe the engine to be a 327. The large number on the back of the block on driver side is 3892657 and the number on the front right of block is VI0I4Hf or V1014HF. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

That's a 67 block but it was used in corvette, camaro and truck applications. Corvette used HE suffix but not HF in 67. The 1014 is October 14, the engine assembly date. If there's no VIN, it's probably an over the counter block.

I guess you meant to say "wasn't" used in corvettes. I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

That same casting (3892657) was used in cars, trucks, and Corvettes in 1967, but each application was different; the "HF" suffix was only used as a 275hp passenger car engine in 1967, so the block you have is not from a "Corvette engine".

That's kinda what I thought. Thanks you!

And typically, if a '67 HF suffix, it indicated 4 barrel carb, air injection reactor, and Powerglide transmission in a GM passenger car.
