I have a chevy SB engine that came with a 1969 RS/Z-28 I purchased in 1979. I was told that the engine came from wrecked 1969 Camaro. I have long since sold that car, but still have the block and crankshaft. I think that I have the crank I.D. figured out as this has a casting no. of 1178, but the block is the one that has me confused, and I hoping someone here can send me in the right direction.
The casting number on the block is as follows:3959512, which from what I've found on the casting lists shows this engine as a 1962-1963 327 2 bolt main, yet this is a 4 bolt main engine.
The date code on the engine is: K68
The engine ID code is: V1I19DZ 19N550021
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks, Scott

The sites I checked all has it as a 327 2 bolt also. So the 4 bolt main is confusing.

I would have to see the pic's of the vin stamp sounds like a re-stamp so far. block casting defnetly indicates 327 2 bolt you say its a 4 bolt pic's? r u sure that you read casting correct?

I just checked again and maybe I'm missing something, but the only thing that maybe questionable is one number in the sequence 19N550021. I can take pics, but I'm not sure how to post them, but would be happy to e-mail them for someone to look at.
Thanks again I appreciate the help.
Scott
