SBC 327 history
I got a sbc 327 with a project i bought and was told it was a factory 300hp 1964 out of the Tonawanda NY plant. I got some numbers off the rear of the block (near where the tranny mounts up. Can i verify what i was told by any of these numbers?

Re: SBC 327 history
Your casting number 3858180 shows it’s a 64-67 327.
http://www.mortec.com/castnum.htm You’ll need the suffix code off the pad in front of the passenger side head to narrow it down. |

Its T05I9S. And I can’t find anything with a 9S suffix code...I was told originally this is a 327/300 motor that was built in the Tonawanda plant when the Flint plant went on strike in 64 and its out of an impala...unless I’m looking in the wrong places, I can’t find any suffix codes close to what I have...of course...lol Last edited by ChadW; 04-03-2018 at 09:36 PM. |

Re: SBC 327 history
T——Tonawanda
0519—May 19 S——look here. It says 1962 327. Look a little closer to see if there’s another letter after the ‘S’. Sometimes all the info from different sources doesn’t match. http://www.nastyz28.com/gm-chevy-cod...s-suffix-6.php |

Re: SBC 327 history
NastyZ28 is my go to for engine and parts decoding. Mortec is just too broad, where NastyZ28 has a bit more info.

Re: SBC 327 history
180 casting..... with a casting date of april 30 1964....
T0519S = may 19 1964 so with the suffix code of S.....(you need another letter). "SL" maybe..... Clean the area on the block real good where you got T0519S and take a pic of it and post it. Thanks. |

Re: SBC 327 history
I will look tomorrow for another pic, take it as close to the letters as possible without distorting the letters........thanks.
Can you take all the orange paint off before the pic....maybe a letter is hiding under all that chevy orange...Thanks again. |

Re: SBC 327 history
the block casting date D3064 (4-30-64) is fine for a may 19 build. Not having the org heads and intake it's just a non stock engine.
