Preliminary sleuthing shows it was cast and assembled at the Tonawanda engine plant (T) on October 24 (I024) for installation in an auto trans El Camino, Nova, or Chevelle. No Corvette small blocks were cast at Tonawanda, only big blocks. I didn't investigate the VIN sequence to ID the model intended for, but I believe the 8 in the VIN indicates 1968.
If it is a 1968 Corvette engine I can move you to that section
thanks for getting back . So the cast 3914660 come up vette but it’s not . I don’t really car just trying to figure out what I got to order internals . Is it 69 then it’s large journal . As 67!was small journal crank Ugg is the double chain time set a stock item . And double hump heads . Just trying to find out if factory or someone’s toy
Does the block have the extra hole in the rear, for a road draft tube and a bolt on oil filter? If so it is going to be a small journal block. No draft tube, and spin on filter will be a large journal.

Block casting 3914660 is identical with the 39114638 except for minor interior casting changes at the bottom of the cylinder bores for rod clearance. It was used interchangeably with the 3914636 in certain applications, but they are unverified at this time. Those applications which could have used this block are listed above. There was some evidence that this block was used prior to February 29, 1968 assembly date. Note: All applications have not been verified.
1968
Passenger / 327 / 250, 275 hp / 2-Bolt
Chevelle / 327 / 250, 275 hp / 2-Bolt
Chevy II / 327 / 275 hp / 2-Bolt
Camaro / 327 / 210, 275 hp / 2-Bolt
Corvette / 327 / 300 hp / 2-Bolt
What you have is a 1968 327 block with large main journals.
If that engine was out of a 1968 Corvette the pad would read FXXXXHE, HO, HP or HT.
Engine suffix code EE for 1968 is:
Chevy II / 327 / 275 hp / Powerglide
Chevelle / 327 / 275 hp / Powerglide
Camaro / 327 / 275 hp / Powerglide
What are the cylinder head casting numbers, I'm guessing 3917291.

Double roller chain is not a stock item. Lots of great help on here. I wish you well with your build! Best, Paul
