Default 1968 396 Camaro ?????

Here's a good story. For years now, our bottled water guy that comes every week tells me that he has a 68 Camaro. No big deal,never really thought to much about it until yesterday. He decided to work on it with his son and I sold him a disc set-up. He starts desribing the car, says it has a 396 and 3.73 posi and that's all he knows. Bought the car in 1980 for $1500 and has had it since. I gave him my cell# and told him to call when he got home and he could answer a few basic questions to determine what it is. Short version from here is 12 bolt, turbo 400, Lemans blue with 714 black deluxe interior. The engine ### is CE 065192 and he goes on to say that it has a GM aluminum intake ##3947801. It has the correct heater core for the 396 no discs (which were optional in 68).
My thoughts are with a CE warranty engine and the square port intake could it be a 375 car??? T-400 and 3.73 posi and not many 325 cars popped under warranty.
I'm going up to his house this weekend and I can post pics and car serial #. Is there anything to determine which HP motor it came with??? I'll look for the build sheet when I go up this weekend!
