I have casting numbers need horsepower raiting on numbers looking to build engine head#3795896,block#3892657on rear, front #CE8 62706.
Casting numbers mean nothing in relation to an engined HP rating. Too many combinations use the same castings and factory HP ratings are not terribly real-world info.Quote:

front of block#CE8 62706 for 67'327
From the casting #s I found out what this engine is . Its a 1967 327 210HP 9.0.1CR . The heads are 74cc 1.72in 1.50ex valves . Also they used this same block for the first 350s with 295HP but with fuelly 64cc 1.94in 1.50ex heads . Good small journal 327 but the heads hold its power back . A set of 64cc Vortec heads with a 450 to 460 lift cam will bring it up to around 340HP :cool:Quote:
