I suspect that might be a "QG" not "0G" and that would make it a 1963-4 passenger block with the 340 horse rating. Single Rochester with a PG.

Is yours a passenger block (i.e., no eyebrow) ?

Best, TomK

Oh yeah, the T is for Tonowanda and the numeric "0118" indicate a January 18th casting. Somebody will correct me if I missed something.

If you take a closer look the suffix # is likely T0118QG
And the casting # 3830814
What is the production date on your cal tag if this is in the original car?
