Check the date code on the block. It is a '67 327 275hp 4V used with a Powerglide in a passenger car.

According to my source material, with the HC code, it's a '69 Camaro 350/250/2bbl. The casting # shows the block could be used in 302 for Z-28, car or truck and last, the Camaro.

In my source material I didn't see the HC code used on any Vette engines.

Take your pick. You got three different cars to choose from. For sure though, it's not a 63 corvette block

The 3892657 block number was used as folows:

1967 3892657 327 210hp or 350hp 2
1967 3892657 350 295hp

The 'HC' suffix was used in the following:

66 327 275hp 4v passenger car powerglide
67 327 275hp 4v passenger car powerglide

The 'V' prefix for Flint began in 1967.

Check codes in The Lime Book 1955-1991 4th Edition and http://www.nastyz28.com/sbchevy/sblock.html for block usage.
