OK, the engine ID does not jive with any web site, but here it is, right from the engine...

Casting number, 3782870. 62-65 327 CID V8

Casting Date, E 1 4, May 1, 1964

Engine code, F0505S, doesn't jive. Flint 5 May S, 1962 Passenger car, full size, power-glide.

It does a 4 barrel cast iron manifold (ruined due to a hole drilled for a vacuum fitting). The heads are the camel humps. i will get those casting numbers next.

I am going to sell this engine, I will keep the six in my truck, to keep it original.
