327 chevy motor in Rochester New York

[ronebee]

Thank you for the input, I didn't know what it was and I told my friend I would post here to see if he had anything.
I learned something today, never knew that all 327's were two bolt mains, assumed all Corvette 283 and 327s were four bolts, now I'm curious to drop the pan on that motor and see if somebody modified that to a four bolt main.

I believe a scarce few 327cid's were released in 4 bolt configuration from the Romulus Mi. plant.I can't prove it,find their applications nor find the evidence that I saw to prove it,but have seen a few of them in my life and fully believe they were not modified after the fact.

Rick, what were those 4bolt 327s in? Or, what year were they from? I once had someone insist his 69 327 was a 4bolt.

Interesting, I have a 396 recorded vin stamp 18D136034 with a date stamp of 1208 just like your engine. Fits into my list perfectly! If anybody has any original fullsize engines or Muncies, please send me the stamped info off them, as I have a list of over 4000 engine dates so far and it has become very interesting research.

A guy here in Sweden who has sold used Chevy V8´s for decades claims to have stumbled over a couple of 4-bolt 327 engines to. They were not modified since they hadn´t been taken apart before.

Now I'd really like to get some casting numbers and dates on these Has any one seen any reference that claims they exist?

Has the pan been pulled in Rochester yet?

I was reading on the internet somewhere can't remember right now, a few weeks ago about 327 four bolt mains and they were Marine engines with standard rotation and the dipstick on the starboard side! does that make sense! I will try to see If I can find where I read it at.

327 engines made in the seventies are also unusual. I have had two of them, one from 1972 and one from 1974. Both were originally installed in Opel Diplomat Coupes.
