Default Looking for Local Help

I am interested in identifying what the heck I have in my car. I have a lift making access to under the car a breeze but cannot find any reference numbers under there, stamped, cast or otherwise.

Here is what I think I know and what I can see.
Engine is an unknown, appears to be blue paint, block casting number is3932388. There is a casting number K20(space)8 that is in the very back of the engine block as well.

Could this be a 1968 built engine that came from a 1969 Corvette?

Help!!!

David

Your casting number comes back to a 69 327 engine.

Here is a photo of the two cast numbers...or at least as good as I can see to capture them.

Check out this link. It looks like it is a 69 350 300 HP. If original it should be orange paint. Blue was used in later years.
