Hope this ok to ask????

Hi everyone, hope its ok to ask this question here. I have an interest in a motor which is purportedly a 327. I only saw pics of it and it has what appear to be 283 valve covers. I know they can easily be changed. I asked the owner for the engine number and he gave me the following: 70135055V0600KM. Doesn't this seem unusually long? If it is a legitimate number, would someone know the CI and yr.? Thank you very much, Carmine.

The later 1960's 327 motors did use the plain jane 350 motor valve covers. Leo

The owner did tell me that it was a '67 327-275 but somehow, it just didn't seem right. But, it is what it is. Thank you both very much for the responses, Carmine.
