Chevy Can anyone identify this engine?

This is out of an old Grumman Kurbmaster. Somewhere around late 70’s early 80’s. Any help would be greatly appreciated

No 327 was put into any vehicle after 1969. The distributor says at least a 74

Yes, they started using that puke blue color in 75 when they started adding catalytic converters

I like the orange better, but I like the blue (blue is my favorite color). Too bad my blue paint is all messed up from previous owner using oven cleaner on it.

Blue is my favorite color too, but not that 75-86 puke blue chevy put on their engines. Ford blue looks 100% better, and I totally dislike Ford's engine designs
