:Not all suffix codes are accounted for in the data banks, so that's one possibility. Another possibility is the "T" is a mis-struck "J", which is the code (AB'''J''') for a C60 truck SBC 350- and heavy trucks/busses often got 010 4-bolt blocks.

:As for the oil pan, that's anyone's guess- pans can get swapped to blocks they weren't on originally. As long as it fits the chassis I wouldn't care myself but if you want to try to pin it down further,  I'd start by determining whether it uses the thin (early) or thick front seal and go from there.

:FWIW there's a forum at www.hotrodders.com that maybe can help. This is a wiki, and doesn't usually answer questions.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 19:56, 9 July 2015 (MDT)
