Default Help identifying engine in 1959

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying this 1959 nom, but cannot identify the engine. Can anyone please tell me what this has under the hood?
Thank you all very much.
Tom

Block casting number looks like 3834810, which makes this a 64-66 283, 195hp in a car or truck. The engine code of T0II5D works out as
T = Tonowanda
0I - January
I5 - 15th
D = 1964 283, 195hp, 2bbl, PG in a pass car
