8 = Year, 1968
R = San Jose assembly plant
115157 = Assembly number, sequential VIN

So your engine is from a car assembled during the 1968 model year in the San Jose plant. No other data can be obtained from just the number.

You can contact Kevin Marti and pay $25 to find out the rest of the story on that particular car but it is probably a lot easier to just measure the bore and stroke.
