'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
It looks like a legit stamping although I have no clue as to the numbers on that one. Next step is to find casting numbers vertically on the block near the oil filter.
Is this a 283 or 327, any idea?

I don't judge a man by how far he's fallen, but by how far back he bounces - Patton
Looks like camel hump heads? Casting number and build date on heads would help.

I'll have to wait for warmer weather to check the casting numbers.
I don't know whether it's a 283 or 327. Is there a quick & dirty visual clue that would tell me?

Yes, there are camel hump heads, but I do not know if they are original, because there is also a Holley 4 barrel & GM 4 barrel cast iron intake on the engine.
I'll have to poke around a little more.

LIST # 6213 model 4165 spread bore 800 cfm double pumper carburetor
I think it has way too much carburetor for the engine!
At a later date (when it gets warmer) I'll get the camel hump head info.

The carb may be ok. The Holley spread bore was basically a replacement for the Rochester quadrajet. It would depend more on what jets are in it, but the small primary venturis would make it work on a 283.
Hello Mystery, I have a 1963 Pontiac Parisienne conv. and knew the motor wasn't original, so I called Oshawa who lead me to Classic Chevy (Musueum?) in Michigan, as All Canadian Pontiacs had Chevy drivetrain most of the motors were built at McKinnons in St. Catherines Ont.. He took the code I gave him, and in 2 minutes told me my motor was originally placed in a 1971 Chevelle or El Camino and that it was a 350 with 245 horsepower. I think yours will most likely be a 327 as all 327's from 1961 to 1964 were 4 barrels.......but it may have been pieced together. Sorry I can't find the phone number for you as I called them last spring...good luck....Terry
