It's a Tonawanda block designated in the stamp by "T55F" A Flint block would be F55F
I'm sure if you look at the block, you'll find both embossed and debossed "T" markings on it.

However, the "T" in the pad stamping indicates the engine was assembled at Tonawanda.

Did Tonawanda assemble both Flint and Tonawanda cast blocks?
