"You need to get the suffix code off the front pass side, on pad in front of the head. It will be a code thats 6, 7 or 8 digits long. The 1st one will be a letter, next 4 will ne bumbers and last 1, 2, or 3 will be letters.. Like say V0621KH. V0621 if the prefix which tells plant, mo. and day, KH would be the suffix code which tells engine size, HP, induction system, and car it was used in
Your 3858180 is not a vin #, it's the casting number and no it does not decode as a corvette. The casting # does not tell what car it was installed in. Its just the size and year range. That # is added before the engine was ever thought of being built and installed.
3858180....327...1964-67...2 bolt main thats all the casting number decodes as."

Hi Ron
Sounds more like the ignition coil pack (coil on plug) that is intermittently breaking down.
Whip out the plugs again, see if you can see one slightly oily, or abnormal.
If so, replace that coil and it should solve your issue.
Hope this is of help.
John.
P.S. Don´t forget to give me a rating please !

It sounds like a bad ignition switch or something is grounding out.Try to isolate the problem to key positions.See if the fuse blows when you turn the key to ACC(when your dash lights come on without starting)If the fuse does not blow then when you go to start it and it blows it could be one of many problems,the more common ones could be ignition switch,wiring,starter relay,starter soleniod,or perhaps the starter itself is shorting out,this can sometimes happen when a starter goes bad.

Since a small protroded object can alter the aerodynamics of the car, there is some very small object that is sharp enough to let the air whistle as you accelerate. I had a similar fault when an antennae screw stood up but it took me time to confirm very easily as I stuck a bubble gum over the screw and the whistling vanished. I think you must look carefully , use some polish/wax to smoothen any harsh surface , fold the mirror to confirm and try to remove off the sharp edges temporarily to confirm. Hope you try this lead. It is tricky but fun. Good day
Search the block for the engine block casting number. The numbers are raised, not stamped into the block and consist of seven numeric digits. The digits can be located on either side of the block. The seven-digit number may be followed with a dash and further numbers. These are change codes and are not normally necessary to identify the engine.
EX.:
Locate the casting date is located on the block. It is in standard date coding, 2.25.93, for example and may be located on either side of the block, but is commonly located on the driver's side of the block, above the freeze plugs. The example 2.25.93 decodes as February 25, 1993. The casting date may be near the casting clock, which designates the hour the block was cast. Magnum engines were manufactured from 1993 to 2002, so verifying the date code helps identify the engine.
