[Schumi]

Hi gents. I've got an unusual, for me, question;

I got ahold of a small block chevy for a.. little project I'm working on. Running motor, good condition; bought it cheap off a guy and didn't really care what it was. I thought it was a 350. It's not. It's a 327. And after getting it home and cleaning it up, the numbers say it's a 327 from something along the lines of a 1967 Corvette. I think. It's all numbers matching and original. It's got the 'double-camel hump' heads with 462 casting numbers. The block and heads have casting numbers that identify them as late 1966 pours- 1 head and block on the same day, 1 head 1 day later.

Seems to have it's original exhaust manifold, which are the 'ram horn' with the 2.5" outlets, which I've seen on Vettes but not sure what else.

Engine block casting # is 3892657

The stamping code starts with a V and has the suffix of "HF" No vin, too early for that.

Here's my big question- I can't find what the suffix 'HF' would have meant in 1967. What car is this motor originally from? I'm thinking it came from a Vette.. but would there have been a Camaro that these numbers would have worked with in 1967? The HF suffix code is what throws me off. From the pages I've found, Vettes used HF in 1965 but not 1967.



Just curious about this thing's pedigree and I am far from an expert on sbc's.

But looks like I've gotten bit with the bug...
