Well as its Corvair related, I'll reply to the group.
Thanks to Mark's Detective work It must be a 164ci motor (That was the only option in '68 right?)
But that still leaves the Car vs. FC question. I'm a little dense about what I'm looking at, so here are some pictures of the motor.
Here's the ID Number.

Is this the large hole that would denote an FC block?

Are these the Horizontal Ribs?

In any case, this isn't a desirable block to anyone restoring a corvair, right?
Thanks,
Eric
