Default Need help identifying engine

I think I have a 1963 Corvette 327 340 hp engine. I got the numbers off the block etc.. If someone who knows how to decode these numbers would confirm or disprove my guess, I would appreciate it. Here are the sets of numbers/letters:
3118413
F0619RE
3782870
F103
