Garth Martin Telephone Number 860 354 3609 - don't remember exact date code, but I talked to him about the engine he had for sale when I was looking for a 1963

FYI - when are you looking for an engine and what are you looking for? Fuellie?

I finnaly got the info for you.

Block Casting 3782870 (good for your 327)

Date A144 (January 14, 1964)

1 head with the block also January 14, 1964 - (461 head) likely 1.94 valves.

It still has the front pad numbers so the owner is pretty sure it has never been worked on.

Price: Just $300

Let me know.:beer

64VetteMania,

Again, the engine that Garth Martin, Telephone Number 860 354 3609, has for sale is for a 1964 - don't remember the exact date code. It was definitely a 1964 engine though!

It is exactly what you are looking for - block, with heads, etc. Give him a call - seemed like a real fine gentleman on the phone.

FYI - I am going to be doing a "body-off" restoration on my 1963 Z06. I am just waiting on Tony's Corvette to call and tell me he is ready to start. I have an engine that I am rebuilding that will be going into the "LADY".

I will be selling the "current" engine out of my 1963 Z06, when I have the body pulled for the restoration. The engine is date coded K213, which is November 21, 1963. It will be sold with the heads and not sure what else as yet. Let me know if you would possibly be interested in this engine.

Hey,

I got a 327 out of a 65 corvette stingray. I do not have the original intake nor do I have the orginal carb.. This motor has the camel hump heads on it. All the numbers match. It runs great, burns no oil, all new gaskets. Only has about 800 miles on rebuilt motor. If you are interested, email me at impalaboy@starband.net.... I also got some pictures of the motor if you would like some.. Emal me or leave a message and we can chat.. Thanks
