3782870 = 62 -67 327 cu in - block used for 250-375 hp, 2-Bolt mains/Truck/Pass

So, combining this with the 'SD' - would appear to be a 1962 300hp 327 block. I think that's a safe bet.

A less safe bet is what it came out of. I've got one ref that says SD was a vette motor - but that was also the ref that said it was (incorrectly) a 350hp motor - so take the vette part with a grain of salt also. I believe 300hp 327s were also available in 'full size' cars in 62 (i.e. impala, bel air, biscayne).

hope that helps.
