Generally casting dates preceed engine assembly dates by a day or a little more. So if you could find a block say the 13-19th you are still doing good.
But since you have the actual date you should try to find a V1220YH stamped engine.
YH is a 49 state (without K19) 327/4bbl/TH400 auto engine found in C10-C20 applications.
They built a lot more than just your former engine on that Tuesday (the 20th) in December of '66 with that same number.

What do you mean that "a 12/66 Janesville truck can be located and checked"... more info on this please.
I have been "kinda" looking for a V1220YH stamped block for awhile. as in when I hear of a guy that pulls a 327 out of a 1967 truck here on the board, I message them asking about it. I once posted a request here on the board about it. But I can't say I "HAVE LOOKED" in a serious manner.
You are exactly correct. It does have the Protect-o-Plate correct TH400 still in it. I was not sure if it was a A.I.R. engine or not. The guy that pulled the original 327 out said that it was 4 bbl. Unfortunately, that original 327 was thought to have been thrown in the trunk of a impala and crushed back in approximately 1995-1996. Bummer...
SS Tim... thank you so much for the info. I was just talking about how informed you were to a guy just yesterday.
