Get the number off the drivers side rear of the block and go to Mortec.com This will tell you what you want to know . Bob

Thanks guys one more question. why does a 327 put out more hp than a 350 from factory. I thought i had a 350 but its a 327

Depends on what it came in /what carb/ what heads/ too many variables to answer that question . My 68 was a 250 horse 327 4barrel which some 350 were that and some were higher horsepower . I will say that the 327 is a very good motor and is capable of making good horsepower numbers . Hope this helps. Bob
