The number crosses to a 1967 camaro Z-28 302 with a small journal crank or a 1962-1967 327 inch car or truck. Corvette engine blocks had a higher nickel containt and the number would normally cross to Corvette only.

It's not a Z/28 block. All 302 Z/28 blocks had "DZ" in the casting numbers. It could be a Corvette engine though, and is a good motor for a build, even if it is a small journal block.

i got it runnin tonight and its got a whine like a blower i think it might have gear driven timing mabye     im not sure  i can only run it for a minute becouse the primary floats are sticken or not adjusted right becouse gas pours out of the overflow tube on top of the carb     the engine sounds real healthy though.    cant wait to drive it
