Default Engine I.D. Help

Am looking at a 64 vert tomorrow, with a NOM. I have this from the current owner & would like to I.D. it before I see car:

18F23065 V0603HN (assuming he got this off pass.side front pad)., but not sure.

Casting date is E228. Currently a 4 speed car. I need to get the casting number yet, which I will try to post tomorrow.

That 18F number is throwing me? Passenger car, truck, or what?
Any ideas appreciated.

Ron

Passenger car engine. I would guess from the 18F23065, which is probably 8F23065, that it is a 68.

HN 1968 327 Pwrglide, reg gas - 4 full size/Chevy II
HN 1969 327 tur 350 - - full size
HN 1969 350 tur hydramatic 300 4 full size

It's a 327/250hp Powerglide out of a '68 Impala built at Chevrolet-Flint Assembly.
