The engine I was going to buy from an old '63 Valiant has the number
T17 11 cast on the block. Does the T17 mean it's a 170? What does the 11 mean? Any ideas? Thanks

T: Engine built for 1963 model year
17: 170 cubic inch engine
11: November (Nov 1962)
Number after the 11: The day of November 1962 upon which that engine was built

A 170 in a truck = not a very capable tow vehicle...!

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I guess I'll have to keep looking...
