This doesn't seem to have engine serial number decodes, but it does have lots of info on 1962 Chevy trucks. I'm guessing Chevy may have detuned the 327 a bit when offering it in trucks. They still offered the 348 and 409 V8 engines in the larger 80 series trucks. Following is just memories of a car crazy 15 year old boy who worked in a gas station on weekends, but couldn't afford a car. 1962 was the first year Chevy offered the 327 engine. It was available in full size cars and Corvettes at 250 (with a Rochester 4GC carb) and 300 horsepower (with a Carter AFB carb) at 10.5:1 compression ratio. Both had hydraulic lifter cams. The Corvettes also offered solid lifter cams at 340 horsepower with a Carter AFB and a 360 HP Rochester fuel injection engine, both at 11.25:1 compression.
