Default 327 Block info

327 block info
I have a 327 with 3858174 as the block number. The serial number is not visable. This 327 is running and putting 375 hp out at the flywheel. 2.02 heads, original aluminum intake, 750 holley, 10.5:1 compression.

What is it worth?

Depends on the stamping you say you can't read. How did you determine the HP? What is the manifold casting number?

The info I could dig up indicated the 3858174 casting to be a correct 327 block for a 66 Vette. :steering: Different block # for late production. Didn't see any indication that the 3858174 casting was used at any other time. Value.....no clue.
