casting date is J288= so according to one site that means "Oct 28 1968"

the engine ID code on the pad in front of the passenger side head is V103IXI, but that doesnt really work out with the info i found about decoding it. Supossedly it works out like this...ie "V0101CLJ - (V = Plant, 01 = Month, 01 = Day, CLJ = Engine Suffix Code)"
so v=flint plant, 10=Oct, 3=day?...its not 31 because its clearly "IXI" not "1XI", could it be 1=Jan, 03=3rd?, so jan 3rd? this part im lost on... and with the suffix, i cant find an "IXI" i found "XI", but that says its a truck, and then the "I" before it throws me off still.
