    You sure that's not HC?

    If it is it's either a 1965 327 Power Glide (275 hp) or 1969 350 M/T (250 hp).

    You can cross check with casting date code.

    It has partial Vin code which some say started in '68

    All of the T_ series were 1978 Pontiacs and 307 motors. My book has 12 different T_ two letter suffixs but none are TO.

    I'll look for the block casting number, but it's gotta be earlier than 69, has a cannister oil filter...
