Decoding/Numbers / Re: 327 or 350

Thank you. Stock Tag color is Teal Blue with Black standard interior, 4 speed trans and V8. I think I will go either Teal blue or custom Black with the louver hood and RS grille. Havent decided what engine most likely will start with a Gen1 small block and with a M20 Wide Ratio. Later will look into going LS. Already has a 12 bolt posi not sure if original but I am definitely content with keeping that! On the wheels I love the gunmetal American Racing Torque thrust wheels on 15 BFG's...Just never get old for me. Im more of an old skool guy

So that sums it up better. I suspected the block was not matching for 68. Could the block possibly have came out a Corvette?

Decoding/Numbers / 327 or 350

Hey there everyone! New member here to the group. I have a question about my recent "68" purchase that came with a SBC and 4 speed Sag. I was told by the seller the block installed is a 350 and it is the original block equipped on this car. Not sure how true this is. No heads on the engine just the short block. Casting numbers are..

#F1014HF  (pass side pad stamping)
#3858174 (Rear left side casting)

Online decoding charts give me both, a 327 and 350 for F1014HF stamping and 3858174 casting there is blogs about this being a mystery block possibly a 327 or 350 out of some corvettes. Is there any other indications on the block I can use to decipher? I'd like to keep this block and rebuild it if possible especially if its matching numbers. Any help is greatly appreciated.
