Default 327 engine id please

Looking at a 61 Corvette for sale that is in real bad shape with a NOM and I do no know what HP or application the NOM goes to. Where do you go to get the info to decipher the stamped pad? I know I can get the answer here also.
Cast # 782870 = 62-65 327 CI
Date K244 = 11-24-64
pad # 5Z135582 ?
Engine ID # FI20IEB ?
Thanks
Billy

with a late 64 date code it was used for a 65 Chevelle 327/300 4 speed. so that is a great motor if the insides are original. and the pad # 5Z135582 says its for a 65 Chevelle built at the Fremont Ca plant
