I'm trying to determine if the Engine is original to the truck or not for titleing purposes.

the number stamped on the ledge behind the distributor is T1 29164 and the casting number on the block is 3835253. it appears to be a 216 CI, 2 bolts through the valve cover and tall push rod cover.

The casting number in the block leads me, depending on the source I check, to say it is possibly the original engine. I just can't find anyway to decipher the stamped number behind the distributor.

Thanks in Advance
