Best place to check sb (&BB) #'s is <http://www.mortec.com> and 3892657 
indicates it is a 327 from 67 with 2 bolt mains(as were all 327's) The 
Corvette engine would be the basic engine with "enhanced" pistons, solid 
lifter cam, and induction, ignition system. The ultimate would have been a 
FI motor from a vette.

What's the #'s on the right front tab - that indicates what it was in when 
it was born :)
