Check the motor number on the side of engine just below the head. Should be on a smoothed pad either above the starter or near the distributor.

If it still has the original 51 engine the 288 will be J2XXXXX and the 327 5 main will be J4XXXXX. Any other starting letter will be an engine out of a different year. There is a serial number chart in the literature section which will help decipher the motor numbers.
