Default barn find

I recently purchased a 1968 convertible that had been sitting in a barn for about 25 years. The owner advised me that it was 327 300 hose engine. But after looking at the engine pad it is stamped with a ht at the end which translates into 350 horse if I am correct it has 291 heads on it with a cast iron intake with a quaderjet carb does thi sound right? thanks from the new guy
