Your engine story, whats under the hood

What's your engine story? What's under your hood? Every engine whether installed or sitting in the corner of the garage waiting installation has a story. My 64 C10 came to me with a 327 and Turbo 400. Ever hear the story, the engine came out of a wrecked Corvette? I would love to have a nickel for every time I have heard that over the years.

The previous owner got the engine with that story and just took the guys word who sold it to him that was the truth. I researched and put on my Sherlock Holmes hat to investigate what I actually had. I was betting it was a 283. Turns out my engine story is quite different but does have a slight Corvette reference. The engine is actually a Warranty Replacement Engine for a 62-67 Impala, and is a 327 250 HP. The heads were also the same heads that were avail on the 1962 Corvette 327 250 HP engine, so a slight Corvette connection, very slight I might add. So that is my engine story.
Tell us yours.
Installed, corner of the garage, crate engine or something you are looking to buy, what's going to be under the hood, now or in the future.
