This is a 1962 Chevy 327. The part number is 3782870 and the date code is D 14 2. 1962 blocks are not that common. This does not have any stampings on the deck pad. It is a bare blank pad. There is an aluminum tag on the front of the block, just below the pad. Maybe this was a dealer replacement block from the parts dept? Or maybe it went to a rebuilder, had the deck shaved down, and the tag added with the rebuilder's information on it? I could not find anything out about the tag, so you are welcome to do your own research on it.

The bores are really nice, with very light even surface rust that will clean up nice, and no ridge. The main caps are unfortunately not all here for it. I just have the bare block with the cam in it, and the few miscellaneous parts in the last photo that were in the same storage area, but I am not sure if they go with this engine or not. The two dowel pins that mount the transmission have rusted and are partly eaten away, but the rest of the block has no rust or apparent physical damage. This is a good place to start for a numbers-correct rebuild.

I was asked if this is a small journal or large journal. I believe all SBC blocks were small journal prior to 1967-68, which would make it a small journal.

NO SHIPPING AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE LOWER 48 U.S. STATES.

I can possibly ship this block through Fastenal for around $200. If you are interested in this, contact me before you bid. I will need your city in order to get a quote.

We are selling out thousands of car parts 1930s to the 70s, and a few whole cars too. You are welcome to pick up any larger, heavier items if you wish. We are 25 miles north of Wichita, KS.

Changes coming to LA Auto Show

Wed, 17 Jul 2013

The toughest opponent for the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show has never been the weather, which is always perfect, nor the location, in car-crazed Southern California. It's been the calendar. After decades of being run on the exact same dates as the larger and more globally recognized Detroit auto show, LA finally stepped out of the shadow of the Motor City several years ago and grabbed its own spotlight -- in November.
