67 was a bit of a crazy year for the factory with the change over/ overlap of motors!
There was a 66 389 SR block on ebay last year that had the 3 freeze plugs. It was unused and had the pistons with it. Was cast is mid 68 I believe.

Here is a thread I started on one I found.

I have a 421 SR block that has 3 freeze plugs. Basically just a 1967 4 bolt 428 with a 4.090 bore.
Casting number was ground off but never restamped.
