Default Your help is priceless thank you!

Here is a photo of engine stamp and some additional ones..
Holley is 3807 list, 3418 carb with a Winters intake and lots of gas station and maintenance receipts.
I’m still unclear about the E2L code on the cowl tag though. What’s the “2” in there for??

3807 is a '67 Chevelle L79 with K19 smog, 3418 is a Corvette 427 (dual inlet). One or the other??

Attached are pix of one of two '67 L79 Nova's discussed on this site in 2018, both with script valve covers, cast intakes and Q-Jet carbs.

The casting date from the block could settle this. I agree with cinovaparts that this is likely a '66 engine transplanted from a '66 loong ago. My .02.

Whatever the story, this is a really cool Nova!! - Bill W

I was at that Nova Nats in Belterra...met Dan and saw this 67 car prior to the resto that Wayne Bushey completed. Very cool car with the QJ setup...and of course the blue one that Jack restored was the bomb.
