A1? Maybe someone else knows or can give a good guess?

What characteristics does the engine have to indicate that it is the original truck engine?

You must have taken out a lifter to confirm that it is mechanical?

What is the block date-casting code and what is the block casting code?

You could have a later block that was a factory replacement, or you could have an engine out of another vehicle (used as a replacement)?

The engine ID could have been "doctored" over the years.
