Im not sure if it is Canadian. It is from a 52 Bel Aire and has KAQ for the serial number. It has the short rise cover with hydraulic lifters.
Actually just found this on another post, looks like a US motor.
K = 1952 year
A = Passenger model
Q = RPO 317 Model 2100 Automatic Transmission Option Tonawanda Plant"
