My literature sez its a 68 SB 302-327-350. Not an original Corvette engine as Corvettes did not use this casting. Assembled 5/29/68 at Flint EngineThe heads are 68 vintage and hold 64 CCs.68 C-3s used this head casting on 300 & 350 HP.

Block: 3914678 was used for the 1968 Corvette (327ci 300hp & 350hp)
"V": Flint Engine Plant
"0529": Assembly date of May 29 (1968)
"HP": Code indicates 1967/68 327ci 350hp, 4Bbl, A/C, P/S for Corvettes
"18S421889": 1968 Corvette VIN information (#21,889 out of 28,566 made that year) around mid June build on the car
Head Cast # 3917291 Used on 300hp (1.94/1.50 valves) and 350hp (2.02/1.60 valves)

Looks to me to be a 1968 vette engine...
