Default engine VIN help

could someone help me figure this VIN #? it is TO316HCR, the block casting (3858180) is telling me it is a 327 from 1964 to 1967, the heads (3890462)tell me they are "dbl bump 2.02", I have been told this is a "vette motor", but I cannot find the match to this #.

My books shows its from an Impala...
HCR 66 327 Impala 275 L-30 Power Glide 4-Brl

3890462 302/327/350 62-68 1.94/1.50 2.02/1.60 64cc Doubble humps

Everyone wants a vette motor with double hump heads, hope you Didnt pay for something you didnt get.
