# Matching Engine Question

[Mark F.]

Hope I am doing this right...first time posting. My car is a 1967 corvette convertible 327/300 4 speed. MY engine pad reads -
7108700 V0I04HE First group of numbers match my vin#...how about the last group of number?....is HE correct for this car? thank you, Mark

Re: # Matching Engine Question

The numbers have the following meaning
V = flint built engine
0104 = the date the engine was assembled Jan 4
HE = 327 300hp manual trans

Mark -

The "HE" suffix is correct for a '67 327/300hp 4-speed. In '65 that suffix was used for the 327/250hp, and in '66 it was used for the 327/300hp.

And, to add to those in John Hinkley's response, in 1968, HE was used on 327ci/300hp, mt engines.

My '65 300 hp is marked "HF".

According to the Corvette Black Book, HF in 1965 is a 327ci/300hp, mt. HE is a 327ci/250hp, mt.
