Could be either or, but chances are that with a Jan 20 1967 casting date it was destined for a 67 cuda. 68 wasn't until mid way thru the year, July/August.
That early in the year would almost certainly be a '67

There are some numbers stamped on the front of the block just below the driver side head like C273 and a number?
What is the scheduled build date on the data tag on the car?

Bottom row, where the 510 is on this one

So what does the 510 mean. I know for most part it just I’d number. I got a picture of mine
So does that mean May 10?
If that means May 10. Mine has 207. Which would mean Feb 7.
And with block stamped 1-20-67 that would mean the block is a 67 I guess
I'm not sure to be honest. Does yours have adjustable rockers? I believe they changed to hydraulic in 68.
Anything cast and stamped in Jan will be that year. That is 5 months into the production year. Mid year. Now, never say never. Now, it is posible for a block to be cast and not assembled until a few months later or assembled and not installed for a few months but that has rarely happened that I have heard.
Yes mine are adjustable

Yes,
First digit 1-9 = Jan-Sep A/B/C = Oct-Dec
Last two digits are the date.
I should add or we'll be corrected, this is the "Scheduled Build Date", not necessarily the actual build date.
If that is the casting date then it is the date the block was cast, hard to say when it was machined. The engine assembly date is stamped on the front of the block just below the head.
