Question 327 or 350! What do i have??

I have a 67 camaro that i just bought. The past owner told me the car has a 350 in it that was from 1967. But the cars tag says it is not an ss model so i know that the car could not come with a 350 stock. The tag does say that it has a V8 stock though. So i am assuming this car had the 327 in it stock. I can not get to the engine tag so i need to know if there is a way i can look at the motor and see if it is a 350 or a 327. What can i look for? Thank you!

theres no external differences between a 327 and a 350. there should be a pad on the front of the block with some numbers and maybe some letters. the last 6 or so digits are the same last amount of digits to the cars vin # that the motor was installed in from the factory. if your last 6 digits of your cars vin # match the last 6 on the pad on the motor then its more than likely a 327 but if they dont then you could have either motor. you will then have to pull the numbers of the back of the block.
