Early 327 I.D.please

[blacky]

Hey there, just joined up as I am trying to decipher what this engine is out of - been using this site for years didn’t realise there was a forum attached to it!
picked up this 327? Yesterday and it seems to be real early girl - is supposed to be a good runner but I am pretty sceptical of that …. Dang the pics are too large to post but the numbers are -
3959512
3
B68
Behind the drivers side head
Engine # CE 9A977 32

any clues ???

The casting ID you mention is a 62-67 Chevrolet Nova 327. It also has the letters CE which designates that it was a factory replacement engine.
