Default LF7 327 Question?

Guys,
I have a LF7 210hp 327, out of a 67 Camaro, in my 67 Nova SS clone. The car came out of Canada that way, was a Pontiac Acadian. What I'm trying to find out is ..... what type of stock heads came on these low hp motors? This engine was rebuilt not to far back, but the numbers are mostly worn to the point where they can't be read. I think the first number is a "3", but the last three numbers can't be read.
I'm just trying to decide whether to rebuild this 327 with better heads, cam, intake.... or go with a crate engine. Thanks for any info.... If you have any possible head numbers for those low hp heads it would be greatly appreciated.

327s were last mfg in the 60's and trying to findparts that affordable will be a bear. My opinion, forget that idea and go for a late model 350 crate engine.

1969 was the last year, and parts are very easy to find, I see people giving them away all the time.

Read through these sites. They will give you casting numbers and block numbers so you can tell what they are and what you have.As far as rebuilding it, it depends on what you want to do with the car. 327 are more of a higher RPM motor and not to much torque. They work good with a light car like your nova.

Also if your not already there I would come on over to this forum and check them out. As a lot of people on here are mostly into late model cars. I'm on there also with the same name
