WTB... 327 Block - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**67 cst swb** · 10-10-2003, 01:25 AM

I'm still dreaming of finding a 327 block with V1220YH code on the pass. side front cyl. heads mount surface. I'll probably never find but ???. I gotta ask every once and awhile...for my 67 CST truck. If you have one let me know thanks.

Update:
I am interested in a truck 327 engine that has been cast/built sometime in the Dec 01 thru Dec 20, 1966 timeframe (early 1967 truck built date potentially). So a casting date code of L 01 6 to L 20 6 (this will be on rear pass side of engine block)

After some education from another board member (thank you SS Tim and PICKMUP)
An engine that the front pass cyl head pad is stamped V1220YH or shortly before such date, such as 12-01 to 12-19 would be awesome. As that is the exact code on my Protect-o-Plate for this truck.
What this code means: V = built in Flint, Mich 1220 = Dec 20th 1966 YH = connected to a TH400 engine.
I am not looking for just any old 327 block/engine, as I have one or two already and have access to a few others.
I am kind of believing that finding a V1220YH (or slightly earlier date cast) stamped block may not be as impossible as I originally thought.

Thank you
