That's a 327/250hp 4-barrel Powerglide engine originally installed in a 1968 Impala built at the Tarrytown, NY assembly plant.

Welcome to the fiber glass and resin club. Since the engine not original to the car anything could've or possibly was changed such as the heads. Your right a 250 hp 327 likely wouldn't of been adorned with double hump heads. Hey, maybe the heads came from the original engine. Check the casting #'s and dating of heads.
