68 camaro coupe engine questions.....

Right or wrong, I tend to snicker when I see sellers brag that it has its "original #match 283." The #match game is for cars whose pedigree carries value, but for the rest, they're ripe for an engine transplant. Go have some fun with your crate motor and then include the original engine when it's time to sell.

But a good point has been raised - a 327/275 is nothing to sneeze at, and that's probably the point where you want to pay more attention to pedigree.
