How do I determine engine size

I have a 1967 Olds 98 convertible and looking to sell it but not quite sure which engine size it has to get a good value on it and to represent it correctly in my ad. I've looked a little but haven't seen anything that jumped out at me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

I think it is a 425 (if it is original)

Look on the front of the block, on top of where the water pump bolts on.
389244D, is a 425 cubic inch engine
38917-1, is a 330 cubic inch
381917A, is a 330 cubic inch
390925E, is a 400 cubic inch
394417-3, is a 330 cubic inch
395558-2, is a 350 cubic inch

Hope that helps!!

Thanks! That should help a lot...was always looking for the secret decoder ring. I'll run over to my garage and take a look.

It is the 425. The code on the front of the engine matched the first one on the list.
