    Sorry, but the MSA-1 book only lists the manual transmission 60 series truck for this letter code for a small block. You should pull the pan and see if it is a small journal crank.....cranks and flexplates get changed over the years.

    Additional Info:

    3858174 - 327ci produced 1964 to 1967, 2 bolt block
    F0129YW

    F = Flint Plant
    01 = January
    29 = 29th day of January
    YW = 1966 truck, 185hp, 2 barrel carb w/manual transmission

    That's not to say this engine could not have been swapped into something else - however, it came from the factory in a 1966 truck with a manual transmission.

    If it were a big block, you are correct in stating that it would be a 427, 216hp, 4 barrel carb w/manual transmission (C60 series truck)
