I know the T stands for Tonawanda.
If you would care to clean the grease off of your engine so you can see some numbers, you may find out that you might have a numbers matching setup. Ever think about that ?
Just a guess

it wont be a numbers matching engine the car was an inline 6 car, vin number would have to start with a V or a VC to have had a v8. but I've got a guy that does nothing but build 327's about 10 minutes from my house that does excellent work.



I don't know if I've posted this but its a 220 horse 283. 4 barrel carb power pack heads and has a dual plane aluminum wieand intake. at least its not a complete dog and it could be worse and be a 305, at least a 283 still runs way better than one of those engines, plus they are extremely tough engines.
