Default what model was this 283 originally used in ?

Found a 283 with an assembly code of FI29DB on it. Can someone tell me what model this originally came in ?

Has 3748770 heads with I57 date code. These heads must have been used on models other than Corvettes. Still these would be correct for an early 58.
