62 chevy full size pass cars nd 62 corvettes got the first 327's and am pretty sure the 327 was a truck option. if you'll post the suffix stamped on the engine pad just foreward of pass side head , can look it up and see whats what.as far as value, anywhere from ZIP to 20K depending on condition. good luck, mike

As per 1963 truck shop manual-283 was used in the smaller trucks and painted gray.327 was available in 6000 series 2 ton trucks and painted green.Either engine used a 2 barrel carburetor.Originally they had a decal on the valve covers with either 283 or 327 listed.
