Im guessing on mine a little. how do you know which one it is for sure? It has the camel hump heads and a 4 barrel, what else is there to look for to know?

In vettes the 327 was not offered after 68. Was it in the Novas?
If it is original, the tach redline for a 300hp 327 is 5500. For the 350hp 327, it's 6000.
The block code is probably the best indicator.
