Stumped on engine ID, help needed

Hey guys, just scored a sweet 68 chevy that came with a nice lookin small block chevy. Has crummy 882 heads, but the PO said it was a 327. I ran the rear casting number of 3932386 and found that it could be a 302, 327, or 350. The front stampings say 19J183008 and VI216FC. After some interweb searching i cant definitively determine which motor it is. Im stoked no matter what it is, but for planning I’d just like to know what im dealing with... its runs decent so i really dont wanna pull the heads. Thanks in advance guys!

The V1216FC means it was built in Flint on dec 16.
The FC suffix code says it’s a 283 or 327. Your casting number says it’s a 327.
Congrats!
It’s a 327.

Fantastic news! I missed the suffix part delineating those two options- thank you so much.
