Default Stange engine stamp

Hi. Hope some one can help me with an unusual engine stamp on this engine I bought to rebuild. Was told it was a 327.
casting engine rear left 3782870
Casting engine rear right F85

ENGINE STAMPING front right. 85 5633376. This number is very clear and there are no letters.

If it is any help, the block has a plug in the draft tube hole in the rear of the block, and a small threaded plug in the front just above the timing cover.
THanks in advance for your help
Keith

THIS.....is what makes this forum THE BEST!!! I'd like to add that no factory 327 blocks sold in passenger cars, including the C2 and C3 (not 100% certain the '68 C3 came with the 327), ever came OEM with 4 bolt mains.......
