Re: [Chevelle-List] Engine code

[Clint Hooper]

Was the L79 an option for 66 Chevelles? I know it was available in 67. If not,could that be an L79 out of a Chevy II? Clint Hooper LT5 Registry Director '91 ZR-1 Callaway Aerobody http://www.LT5Registry.net/ '69 El Camino ProTourer  ACES #1650 http://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint_hooper.htm '99 Honda F6 Valkyrie custom for sale ----- Original Message ----- From: R Milkiewicz   I'm looking at a 327 engine to buy. The seller says it's a 327/350. The block code is 3968174 and the heads are 3860462. I can't find these numbers anywhere. The deck is stamped HCH. I can find HC but not HCH. I haven't looked at the motor yet. This is info he gave me over the phone. If it is a 327/350 it will be mine. He's asking $1500 or best. Can anyone one help me with the casting numbers? Mfg date on it is 7/9/1966. Correct for my '66. Thanks Rich
