Help with 65 Impala SS

Hi Guys,

Trying to figure whether or not my Brother in law's 65 Impala has a correct engine. Specifically, the heads.

I believe this to be a 327-250 horse engine. I run this combo in my Wagon.

This, though, has a Carter WCFB carburetor and 461 heads.

Block is matching numbers to the VIN. Just trying to figure out what to do here. Brother in law wants more horsepower and just cruise it. I don't want to modify a matching numbers engine. I suggested a crate motor, and keep the factory one in the corner of the shop.

Any help is appreciated!
