If nothing else you can check the stroke. The 283 had a Bore & Stroke of:3.875 in × 3.00 in The 327 had a Bore & Stroke of: 4.000 in × 3.25 in Remove a Spark Plug and check the stroke. There is also a casting number located on the block that can be used to identify the block. Click the link.

Is a 64 Chevelle Malibu fast?

Depends.... If it had a straight 6 or a 2 barrel 283, no. If it had a 327, most likely, especially if it has the L-79 (350 HP 327) in it. The first truly fast Chevelle was the 1965 Z16.... It was the first time the 396 was installed in the Chevelle.
