The 3892657 block was also used in the Corvette in '66 & '67. Is it possible you misread the block number?

As Keith mentioned above, the MA suffix would make it a '67 or '68, 210hp Camaro with manual transmission engine.

Good luck, and welcome to the Corvette Forum...

. It is 3892657.

I did have a number missing on the back of the engine block. It is 3892657
On front of the block is
VIII7MA
So is this out of a Camaro?
Thanks so much for your help 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻
