327 pictures

Does anyone on here have pictures of an original 327 V8 with a 4 barrel Rochester carb, no AC, with power steering in a 67 Chevy C10? Lost the pictures we took of it when we got it home. Thanks to who responds.

I do, not original power steering though

Here’s one I had on the phone

Thank you projectking

NP, I’ll get more. Snows blowing like a ***** tonight and I went straight into the house!

[projectking]

You want to see it without the air cleaner?

I can take pictures of mine if you need it but no PS or PB

Thanks Jack.

I will do this when I get home from work today. I'll take some with and without the air cleaner.

Here you go. I have a power steering pump and ram assembly as well as another 327 at the shop if you need something else

The gearbox setup on the pictured truck isn’t correct but works!

[67ChevyPickupMan]

Thank you for the pictures projectking. If I need anymore pictures I will give you a holler

[projectking]

You’re welcome, Happy New Years!

Wasn't the alternator mount on the exhaust manifold in 67/68?

Yes, the lower bracket bolts to the bottom hole and the alternator pivot to the top one.

Sorry, kind of dark, but got home late. Hope these help someone with something.

Thank you happy dan

No sir, it is a 68. That tube helps warm the air when it cold outside. I am sure someone here has the official name. Maybe heat tube?

cool man. Nice truck. I thought it was a 68. is that engine original to the truck? if so what is your Suffix code? Last 3 letters of stamped on the block behind the water pump. Thanks

Sorry, just realized the original post was looking for a 67! I am pretty sure the engine is original to the truck. I haven't had a chance to check the numbers yet. I will get the number as soon as I am home and remember.

Looks like V0316YV

Checked the VIN on door and spid. Looking good for originality!








Sorry, did not mean to hijack the thread. Just excited about the truck, the more I look the more I like.

FWIW, if you're referring to engine originality in your comment - it's worth noting that none of us can prove engine originality with certainty in this era of trucks with a VIN, SPID, or engine suffix code (unless one is THE original owner and knows it for a fact) - we can only decode after the fact that a particular engine "could have been original." VINs only tell us if a truck was originally equipped with a V8 or I6 - and SPID RPOs only highlight if an 'optional' engine in either of those categories was installed originally. Having said all that - because I don't completely trust all the decoding material floating around out there to be gospel, I'm inclined to agree with you that the engine is likely original - but I do show that VO316YV decodes to a 16 March Flint-built 68 327 for a C10 with a manual trans (whereas the SPID shows it was originally an automatic trans truck). I'd say it's too much of a coincidence to NOT be the original engine - but you just never know in this era before partial VINs were stamped on the engines.

Good morning experts,
one question regarding evidence: If you have the original protect-o-plate there the engine ID is stamped ( and the carburetor manufacturer too C Carter, if this is matching with the number on the engine block the chance to have the right one is higher, right, at least you have an engine from the same assembling day in the same assembly plant for the same purpose right?
And in the build sheet you can find at least which engine suffix -YV and which carburetor
- 8213)
Happy to hear your opinion? ( Hope not to high Jack the tread too).
