We bought a 1963 Chevrolet C10. The truck did not have a motor in it, but the previous owner gave me this motor.. I have searched the web for quite awhile and cant find any info that even comes close to helping me.. I am hoping that you guys can help out... thanks ahead of time...

Hello and welcome to the forum!
Apologizes for the delay in responding!
The number you've posted, F0324TPT, is the Engine Assembly Code.
It decodes as; F = Flint (assembly plant), 0324, date code, March 24, TPT = Engine Suffix Code, this particular code I have been unable to decode. I have found several codes very close to it, FPR, FPS and FPW, they all decode as, 1989, 350 cid, truck, 210 HP.
It's a good guess, FPT decodes the same!
So, it looks like you got a 1989 350, from a truck.
That's a good thing!
This will be a Chevy roller cam truck engine, a lot of HP and torque can be made from these engines, with Chevy components!
This will make your '63 pickup a real go getter!
Good luck with your build and don't be a stranger around the forum, stop in from time to time and keep us updated on the progress of your build!
