Dave, I do not know.. they are what ever GM put on a 68 truck from the factory.. the engine has never been apart..

I will pull a valve cover today and get the casting numbers for you.

dave666693 · 08-24-2009, 01:00 PM

I've heard people say they have camel humps on their trucks but I don't know if they were factory installed on the trucks.

Bubba4spd · 08-24-2009, 05:54 PM

I'd love to have it also.

Livrat · 08-24-2009, 11:55 PM

Dave, these are definately not the "camel hump" heads nor the "power pack" heads.. these have a casting on the end that I am not familiar with.. The casting numbers inside are #3911032..
Mortec lists these as:
3911032....68......307/327......70cc chamber

duallyjams · 08-25-2009, 07:18 AM

Its a truck engine.

msgross · 08-25-2009, 08:11 AM

do you have the original carb?

also for my own purpose what is the casting number on the intake?

Livrat · 08-25-2009, 11:04 AM

Mike, Yes I have the original carb, the casting number on the intake is: #3919808..
This casting number is also used on the 68 Vette 300HP 327 and the 350HP L-79...

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-25-2009, 11:44 AM

if you would be willing to ship it, i would be interested.

msgross · 08-25-2009, 11:58 AM

are you selling the carb?

snaus32 · 08-25-2009, 02:02 PM

not to high jack your post but how did you find out how to read the casting numbers is there a website i have a 327 im going to rebuild the block is the same as yours not sure on the others yet. mines got 65k on it.

dave666693 · 08-25-2009, 03:51 PM

Trying to decide if I want to go this route or a 396 my neighbor has.

Brad · 08-25-2009, 05:23 PM

Mark, I'd love to have this available for my Camaro if I ever (GASP!) decided to go that route and I'd love to have it, but being 7000 miles away until January presents a problem for both of us. I know you probably can't store it, but if there's any way... I'd love to have it complete with carb if it's not already gone! Maybe I'll see if Drew could pick it up for me...

Twisted78SS · 08-25-2009, 05:54 PM

Brad,

You may have to change the tag line for the Camaro on your profile now... lol

Mark I left you a voicemail..

Livrat · 08-25-2009, 10:51 PM

70STOVEBOLT.. Sorry, but shipping a $150 engine is just not cost effective for me...

msgross.. Mike. going to keep the carb for now it is already on other vehicle..

snaus32.. check out www.mortec.com

dave666693.. Dave do you really have to ponder that decision?? 396!!!
But them I'm a Big Block guy!!

Brad.. Brad.. Drew just called said you could store it in his shop..

Twisted78SS... Drew voicemail returned..

**70STOVEBOLT** · 08-26-2009, 09:03 AM

Ok, thanks anyway.

Twisted78SS · 08-26-2009, 12:27 PM

Livrat,

After talking with Brad long distance, he said he wants it!, so consider it sold!

I'll PM you to arrange pickup,

Thanks,
Drew

Livrat · 08-26-2009, 10:39 PM

Sold to brad via Twisted78SS

**special-K** · 08-27-2009, 08:16 AM

Good deal all around.This is also the same block as a`68 SS350 Camaro.They ran 70cc heads.I was pleased to find one for my`67 GMC project.Mine now sports the 64cc heads and other goodies to bring it to about 350 hp.it was a running old motor.It required no machining to the steel crank and very little to the rest of the motor.These are a great find.

Brad · 08-28-2009, 12:20 AM

Thank Mark and Drew! Thanks for that tidbit and the pic Tim.
Mark, if there's any way I could get the original carb along with it for a reasonable price, I'd love to have it (assuming it's a 4bbl). Just let me or Drew know...
