engine id #'s 1966 big block

I have a 1966 coupe 427/390 with an engine stamp on the left front block plate that reads (as best as I can see at this age!) TOIIOIL 6112283. Can anyone tell me if I am looking at the right number and what it defines????? The block casting # is 3866848 above a big GM2.

Thanks,
Henry the 8th

Well you're in the wrong section, but T0110IL means the engine was built in Tonawanda on Jan 10 and was for a 427/390. If your car VIN ends with 6112283 it's likely the original engine if not a restamp.
