    Suffix Code - What can solve this 1957 mystery?

     



    Casting code: 3731548 (1957 283 small block)
    Engine Assem / Suffix Code stamp: FI02F

    From what I understand (correct if wrong please):
    1) F = Flint plant
    2) "I" was actually a "1" in the 50's code stamps
    3) Therefore manufacture date is Jan, 2nd 1957


    What is the F suffix code? Is it powerglide? Any idea what car this was out of?

    Any info that will differentiate between a car and Corvette?

    The cast date is: L276

    Engine mounts are both on the front engine block
