T=Tonawanda engine plant

thanx it's going in my 67 ss 396 vert. this is the closest thing i've found so i'm going to snatch it up. i assumed it was original to the car i'm pulling it from however the car is wrecked. to bad i can't find the original. by the way is there a book with such info? or a website? thanx again for your quick reply.

The Team Members home page has access to an engine ID section.
Or you can check casting numbers here on Mortec

I like to use MSA BB suffix code book as first reference because it also covers late model engines. This is their web site

You can always post any numbers questions up in the Tag Team area also.
