    Chevy 302 327 or 350?? Let's hope it's a 302...

     



    I've got a car I'm looking at that had an older engine swapped in it and wondering if we can find out exactly what it is. It's got double hump heads so I think it might've been out of something worthwhile.
    But the numbers on the block 3914678 decode to a 302/327/350 68-79 Car & Truck 2-bolt. The engine is Chevy red paint, camel hump heads with a short water pump so I know it has to be a 60s engine right? Trucks didn't come with camel humps did they?
    Well...even better I've got a VIN on the front of the block. Can we find out what car it came out of with that?
    There's 2 sets of numbers...
