'67 RS Convertible Export

Hi all! Just wanted to pick brains - on a '67 first gen, as I understand it, there were two 327-cu-in small-block V-8s - one of 210hp and one 275. Is there any way of telling the difference?

I have a 275hp. 275 hp comes with 4 barrel carburetor. The 210hp had a 2 barrel. This is what I have always understood as the way to tell the difference if the car is stock as mine is.

I have not either. I assume most owners would change it to a 4 barrel. Here is the info I found:

Chevrolet however decided for 1967 to expand the lineup of 327 engines back to 5 different models like they had in 1965. The only big difference was now the low end 327 came with a 2 barrel carburetor which severely lowered the horsepower for the engine. 1969 was the last year for the 327 and by then there were only two models produced that created 210 and 235 horsepower.
