Block identification FII0fEB

[William V.]

Can someone help with this block identification.
casting number 3783870 (63-65 327)
date code 1225
engine pad stamp FII07EB 124709

The owner thinks it's a Corvette block. However, I think it came out of something else. I could not find the suffix "EB" in any of my Corvette documentation.


Thanks

Re: Block identification FII0fEB

I show that casting used between 62-67
F= Flint Plant
11=Nov
07 7th
EB=1965 327 Chevelle
124709=Serial
Date 1225 Not sure what that is but casting dates are Alpha=Month, then day & year. Nobody was working on Dec 25th.

I would say you have a 1965 327 from a Chevelle


EB 1957 283 hi lift cam - V8 full size
EB 1958 283 turboglide - 230HP truck
EB 1965 327 high performance - 300HP - Chevelle

Re: Block identification FII0fEB

Date cast is probably I225 rather than 1225. That would compute to September 22, 1965, and would be in line for a November 7th assembly. The problem there is that the EB code comes for a 65 Chevelle, and the September/November 65 dates are really 66 model year.
One thing for sure, it's not a Corvette motor from the factory--it may have been inserted in a Corvette sometime along the way, but that doesn't exactly make it a Corvette motor!
