396 engine code ID
 

I found an engine in an old machine shop with a stamped code of T0108AKT. I'm thinking the A prefix may be for marine use. The motor has some damage from a broken rod so if it isn't an automotive code it probably isn't worth saving. It was the bottom block with another motor stacked end to end on top of it so I could only manage to get the engine code numbers. It looks like it may have been a '70 L89 engine. Clint

According to the info I have it is either a 427 tall deck truck engine or 454 from an 1986 truck.

When I first saw this motor about 10 years ago I only cleaned it up enough to read the KT. When I found the A prefix today I didn't think it would be good news. Thanks for the help. Clint
