Pictured is the original redesigned Turbo automatic transmission developed for the Gibb Nova’s. DH got some of the cars for modifications of which the paperwork & transmission is applied. The special engine code for the original 396 factory engine is still in the document.

E3 Engine code for COPO Chevy II
I still remember Kim Howie telling me about the E3 engine code. He thought it was alpha numerical for Experimental 3 speed automatic transmission.

I would suspect that engine suffix “E3” would be related to Tonawanda installing a flexplate with 6 holes for that 6-lug converter hence, “Don’t forget the Extra 3 holes!”
