Block Casting Number is 3834810. I believe the block date code is G305. The stamped engine number is TI027GF. And yes the second character is a capital letter "I" not a number 1. There are no other numbers on the stamp pad.
Can anyone give me some help in decoding the number? Is it a 327 ? What horse? Was it a single 4-bbl? What did it come out of? Runs strong with 192-heads and a single Holley so I hate to toss it without knowing what it is. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

From your description it is a hodge podge of parts which points to a basic 250 hp.327 if it has a cast iron intake manifold. and the192 (1.94) intake heads. There is one glaring part which does not fit the 250 hp.327 and that's the Holley Carbeurator. The 250 horse had a four barrel Rochester (not a Quadrajet) The 300 hp 327 had both double hump heads and a vacuum secondary Carter on an iron intake. The 365 and 340 hp. motors had double hump 2.02 intake heads, forged domed pistons 327's and both had aluminum intakes with 580 cfm Hollies. The 302 had an aluminimum intake double hump heads and a 750 -785 center hung Holley. There is a slick way by sight to tell if you have a 250 iron intake or a 300 unit. Look directly behind the thermostat opening on the intake manifold. If the cast iron is 100% filled in between the thermostat housing and the intake runner you have a 300 hp. intake. If there is a gap of any type it's a 250 hp 327 cast iron intake. In any case someone (cowboy'd) on the Holley Carbeurator if the intake is a Chevrolet cast iron unit.
