There is sooo much you can do to a 327 to make it scream. Go for it.

I'm considering joining NCRS. I'm a little reluctant because of potential limitations, such as what I can do with the engine.

Hello, I have some comments for you, just useless knowledge, I have learn in my growing up. I have also a 68 vette, also the same engine, but 4spd. Your engine "block" is actually quite rare, by most wouldn't not understand, but to have that casting number on the back by the date code, showing 1968, is a good dollar money block, Here is why, A casting number is considered a "could be born as/made as" In your case its a 302/327/350 engine block casting The part that makes it a worth money block, is the 302 listing There was only just a few casting numbers that list an engine block as a true 302, so in the world of camaro, the 302 started building in 67, which was small journal engine, which was a "wicked" motor, in 67 there was a extra casting by the distributer that was made for crankcase ventilation tube, which in 68 still had the casting, but was not drilled for the vent, But a 302 small journal motor didn't hold its own, for the rod bolts was to small from the rotating force, of the rpm it could do.... stock oiling was an issue too. So in 68 it was an upgrade on the block to be a large journal, which had bigger connecting rod bolts, 3/8 large journal size versus the 5/16 small journal, but they still granaded, and oiling was still an issue, In the world of large journal block, say like 010, you can build a 302,327,or a 350, but far as casting numbers and coding, its a Frankenstein motor, Also 68 was first year for the 350, and the casting itself was a better/thicker casting quality, unlike later years where as technology change the block castings got thinner, around 1974ish there was 7lbs of casting deleted, even more years later, So to have a 302/327/350 block in 68, to get that casting number it had to go to a high option car, like a vette, or camaro. Chevelle only got the 327 and 350 version, Vette in gm mind had to have the best option, be top dog, so the 350 was the best small block it could get, Then camaro had the DZ 302 option or the 350, which are both big money cars now a days. The front pad letters, states what it was actually built as, in your case listed it a 327, a DZ would been a 302, not sure what a 350 code suffix was off top my head, Last I looked a DZ 302 block on ebay was 2000.00 to 3000.00 pending condition, a true DZ crankshaft was around 1500.00 all needed refurbished. So depending on how deep the front pad lettering is stamped, and if the deck can be plained/milled off to remove that lettering, have it restamped for DZ casting, it can still be a lottery ticket!!!, In the world of vette a 327 is a blah engine, but I'm not complaining about them, considering my 68 has a 327, I do believe mine was a replacement block, there is no vin stamped on mine, just the suffix for 327, My opinion, which is what im doing with mine someday, 😆 . Is im pulling my block since it doesn't have vin stamp, im rebuilding mine as a DZ302 engine, then build a 350 or order a crate motor to put back in it. Which I understand yours is a vin match, I would still build it as a 302 version, mystery motor, it is a wicked motor for sure, even with an automatic tranny, you still can't shift it fast enough..... I know that for fact, I also built a replica 302 small journal one, Scared me, excitedly!!! Good luck, love watching the videos....
