What engine is this?

I tried looking at de-coding page, now I'm really confused.
The stamped number is:V05TCYV
The casting #:3914678
The date stamp is E 3 8, but I believe the 'Burb was built in April-April 19th,9:15 AM is what is wrote up above the visor.
Oh, yeah-the block has a casting clock, but I read that Saginaw was the only plant that used this, but the 'V' says it was made at Flint? Is that right?

And are these heads any good? 3911032

Thanks in advance

If those casting numbers are right, you have yourself a 327 from a 68 Camaro. The heads are found on 327s from a 68 as well. It has a 70 cc combustion chamber, but thats all that Mortec.com tells me

I'm gonna have to double check the numbers tomorrow. It has every indication of being the original engine in the '68 'Burb that's donating parts for my Panel.

Pritch, have you made any mods to your motor? If so what are they? It sounds to me that we have the same motor. The only thing done is an HEI.


BTW, where is hoytsville from SLC?

I havn't done anything to it yet, except pull it out and stick it on a stand. I don't know if I'll get to it this winter or not. It is still factory stock.

Hoytsville is on I-80, 4 miles south of Coalville and about 10 miles north of Park City. Just about dead center between SLC and Evanston, Wyoming.
