WTB-327 350 hp motor for 68
Looking for a original 327-350 hp long block motor or 327 short block for my 68. If you have one please provide numbers. Unless I am lucky this is a long time search, so keep me in mind guys!
I am looking for a long block 327-350 hp or a 327 short block.
Block casting number 3914678.
Casting date needs to be July or early august 67:
This would be a G_ _ 7 or H_ _7
Prefer never bored but would consider a .020 or .040 overbore.
Heads would be 3917291 or 3917292 and have the same date codes as the engine block.
The correctly dated block is the most important thing. If I have to, I will build up the rest.
Car was born October 4th 1967. I am only going back a max of 3 months because I know of some cars born on the same day and they have blocks from July / August. I guess 6 months would work but for now I will only consider June, and preferably July and August.
Thanks!

Are you looking for one that matches your car or just a 68 327.
I have an old 327 just sitting at a friends house about 3hrs away. We could get lucky. I wouldn't bet on it being a vette engine.

When was your car born?
One reason I ask is I have a 3914678 block (standard bore) cast dated D-13-8, I might have some heads that will work with this block also.

If you dont find the heads you want I have some 186 casting heads with 2.02/1.60, and screw-in-studs and guide plates. Still at the machine shop being rebuilt with all new parts. Let me know if your interested.

I guess 6 months would work but for now I will only consider June, and preferably July and August. But Your D or April of 68 is after my born date of October 67. I will keep this in mind in case I broaden the dates or learn more. Thanks!
