Be sure to get the casting number off of the crankshaft while you are there. It will be helpful to know if this is a SJ or LJ machining of this block.
Even if your engine does it won't settle anything. There are 2 issues:
1)it cannot be proven that it is original to the truck because the VIN derivative is not stamped on the engine pad for these trucks. Is there a VIN on the pad? If so, it is not a truck engine. Is there an engine code stamped there or is it blank (decked block)?
2) You have a 3892657 casting block. None of the sources list this as available as a 4-bolt block. Unless it started life in a '67 350 Camaro then it is a small journal. There was never ever a factory 4-bolt small journal block. IF they are there then the machine shop that rebuilt it did it. Nobody out there has ever claimed to have a factory '67 SJ 4-bolt. You will find that 4-bolt mains began in 1969.
I'm done. I will wait for photos.
