That is a casting date - 2/20/1966 - which doesn't match with the other numbers. Double check those, they are many times hard to read. If the last number is an "8" then you probably have a 327 since they used that block for 327s in 68. 327s were used for lower HP applications in those years like in my 68 Camaro that came with a 210 HP 327 but were also easy to hop up because the shorter stroke could wind up pretty quick a work good in a lighter car. For a truck a 350 would be better IMO. A little more torque for hauling, towing, etc. If that engine is a 327 and original it might be worth some money to the right person. Can you get numbers off the crank? That should settle what you have.
