Still crazy after all these years!
Early 327's had a road draft tube that vented the engine down the back of the block by the distributer. The canister in the block is a baffle so liquid oil doesn't escape into the road draft tube, just oil vapors and crankcase pressure.
By the way, I run a home for orphaned 327 engines. Anyone that has one they don't want can ship it to me.

If you plug the hole in the block for the road draft tube you will need another method of getting rid of crankcase pressure. Either breathers on the valve covers or a PCV valve running into the carb, like on later SBC's.
