the v8 stuff is not original 283, or 327, I don't think.....large harmonic balancer, long water pump, later PS pump (no nut holding the pulley) and those exhaust manifolds are later. No oil filler tube on the intake, and extra vacuum or PVC hoses, etc. That looks like a 350 to me. The stuff probably could all work on most any v8, but not for an original setup. The original PS brackets for our trucks don't look like that, but that may be for an A/C setup in later years? I don't think older 327 heads would have the mounting holes for those brackets.
