Engine Code Help
Does anyone know of an engine code like this?

I know the T is for the plant the 02 is Feb. The 11 should be the day. The 1 is that the year? Also I cannot find the LM in any books.
Thanks

"LM" is a 69 427/390 hp Vette block. Seems that last "1" is an extra number from all the sources I have. Is it a BB engine, if so, what is the casting date on the block and the block #? Later.................B

The only number I find on Mortec is a 380817 which is a 400 it is for sure a small block but my casting number is for sure a 380817 not a 330817.
