Default Engine Decode

Can anyone help with decoding this engine block? I know it is not vette, but could it be Chevelle, Nova or Camaro?

V0302EP stamp pad, 18K179086 partial VIN

Any help would be much appreciated??

Can you also get the block casting number off of the back webbing of the block and the casting numbers of the cylinder heads from under the valve covers?

It's a 327/325 with a manual transmission from a 1968 Chevelle (or El Camino) assembled at the Kansas City, MO plant.

The engine was assembled on March 2nd, 1968 at the Flint, MI plant.
