What 327 are you talking about? Are you talking aboutt he casting number on the block? If so, it's not a 327...it's a 350 inch block. It could be 2 or 4 bolt block...can't tell from the numbers.

To help we need to know the year of the engine, the year of the Z28 that the harness came from and the tranny that was in the Z....

The 327 has not been a production engine since 1969, at least to my knowledge and the 95 caprice came with either a tbi 305 or a full iron version of the lt1350 same w the roadmaster (by full iron I mean cast iron heads) as opposed to the corvette/camaro

Re: im out of ideas!!!

He's simply confused because the LT1 block has "327" cast on it. That is the last three digits of the casting #. Note "327" in lower right of photo:

The other engine in the Caprice was the 265ci L99 version of the LT1. That block has "4.3L" cast on it.

Re: im out of ideas!!!

The harness is for an obd2 car and the engine is obd1. There are connectors on the harness that won't have a sensor on the engine. The first thing that comes to mind is the crank position sensor.....on the harness,not on the engine. I think the B-body cars had 2 knock sensors, that harness has one connector. The harness will have connectors for 4 Oxygen sensors as well. You'll have to confirm that the common sensors have the same connectors .... things like the IAC..... I just don't know.

It's not going to be super easy.......
