Default Re: weird engine manufacture code

I asked George initially when I got my docs, because I thought the engine code seemed odd, and didn't match normally accepted codes for the model.
I have also emailed "GM Canada" to see if they have any literature, which I'm sure they do, the question will be if anyone is willing to take the time to look for me.
Somewhere, there is a list of engine codes for Canadian Chevrolets, there has to be, because something like that is always documented, and GM Canada obviously never throws out any documentation.
Also, I'm curious as to whether the whole engine code was stamped in at Tonawanda, or if further code stamping was done at assembly plant. The way I have always understood it, all the stamping of the origin, date, and code was done at the engine plant, and the vin part done at the assembly plant. This would maybe mean that someone who worked at Tonawanda might have some input, although since so few of these engines were built, they may have not noticed a few weird codes.
