Why don't you check number again. The only thing that comes close is
3973487. Nine and eight are pretty easy to confuse unless you have the head
off and cleaned. So 3973487 belongs to:
1971 350 high performance applications
1971 350 trucks and passenger cars

I believe the correct number is 3973487, sometimes the 8 and 9 can be muddled
up in the casting. However,
they were made between 1971-1973, for intermediate (1.94/1.50) and high
(2.02/1.60) performance.
They are a good heavy casting for a street performance head with 74cc chambers,
good runners that port out very well.
At least around here they are prized (Oklahoma City).

Also look on the under side of the intake ports for the 487 and an X
If you see the X you have the 171cc intake ports if not they are 160.
both are 1.94/1.50 & 2.02/1.60 76cc chambers.
Cast from 68-79 but X castings stoped in 73.
