Default decode engine please

The block number is 3892657, suffix code is KM, The corvette black book lists this block number as a 327 of 1966 or 1967. The Km is not listed so perhaps a passenger car engine?

Default Thanks

Thanks for the info. Is a new crate engine a better idea than keeping this in a 63 swc?

I would keep that engine in it or look for a 63 with a close date, but it will always be a non matching to people. My 66 has a 68 Caprice Motor in it but what the heck.
