Default Another Engine Identification Question

I was told when I bought my 1965 convertible that it had a 1967 327 in it.

The casting number is 3892657, which as far as I can tell is consistent with that. But it looks like that casting number may also be consistent with a 1967 302 and a 350.

The stamp pad is blank. I think that means it is likely a replacement block.

Short of disassembling the engine and measuring things, is there a way to tell the displacement and HP?

Thanks!

John

What is the casting date? It's on the other side of the block flange. But your right there's no way to know what it truly is without tearing it down

Thanks. The date code is too dirty to see. I will clean it this weekend and let you know.
