    Where is this 327 engine from?

    1968 Blue Corvette Engine Number.jpgI have a 1968 Corvette VIN - 94678S423540. The engine was replaced by previous owner; he claimed it was an L79, which i believe it was originally, but the replacement engine is coded: F128412 FI027RP The "I" is a capital "i". The last letter P could also be a B, F, or E. Their is a mark that seems to blur it. I think it's RP, hence would make the donor car a 1964 vette.

    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    It would help to narrow the search (and I say this without looking at any reference) if we knew the casting number and date code off the back of the cylinder case.

      The letter "I" = the number "1"......It looks like "RP" to me.
      Assuming the block casting number is "3782870" and was cast in October 1963......F1027RP =Flint, October 27th, Manual Trans. with A.C. (1964 Corvette).
      However, the individual hand stamped number "F128412" does not make sense to me as it is not a partial 64 Corvette VIN.
